Abstract

SUAREZ-CABRERA, Dery Lorena. New immigrants, old racism: Participatory mapping and immigrant children in Chile. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.2, pp.627-643. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1325110414.

This article explains how immigrant children are configured as a new problematic subject within the migratory phenomenon in Chile. This study focuses on Peruvian children and the invisibility of other child subjects, highlighting when migration is conceived as a threat from different social scenarios. The author engages in a methodological and epistemological reflection that touches on different fields of the social sciences such as "knowledge as emancipation" and the participatory mapping that forms part of Participatory Action Research. This approach is taken to question these stigmatizing discourses and recognize immigrant children visible as subjects of their own experiences based on their identity narratives.

Keywords : children; immigrants; participatory research; maps.
