Abstract
WOLF, Allison B.. Presumed guilty until proven credible: epistemic injustice toward Venezuelan immigrants in Colombia. Estud.filos [online]. 2022, n.66, pp.223-243. Epub Sep 05, 2022. ISSN 0121-3628. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.349138.
With few exceptions, philosophers working on immigration have not taken up the topic of epistemic injustice, primarily, I imagine, because immigration justice is often too narrowly conceived of as encompassing moral and political concerns rather than epistemic ones. But the more I think about the injustices immigrants endure on a daily basis, the more I take this to be a mistake; epistemic injustices must be seen as a central aspect of immigration injustice too. In what follows, I will demonstrate how this is the case. More specifically, after providing an overview of the nature of epistemic injustice, I will highlight some examples of it in the lives of displaced Venezuelan immigrants in Colombia. In doing so, I hope to show why discussions about immigration injustice must include identifying and confronting epistemic wrongs.
