MINVIELLE, Régis. African Migrants in Buenos Aires: between Stigma and Exoticization. univ.humanist. [online]. 2015, n.80, pp.79-105. ISSN 0120-4807. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.UH80.maba.
Since the 1990s decade, but especially since 2000, immigrants coming mostly from West Africa, have gradually weaved the contours of a transatlantic south-south migration device between Africa and Latin America. In Buenos Aires they trade on the streets. This activity was initiated mainly by the Senegalese community.This article aims to expose the stereotypes and the relationships between the Argentine society and the African migrants in order to observe the reception of an unknown population in that part of the continent. To do this research, the ethnographic method and discourse analysis were used. The recent nature of the African migration to Argentina generates clichés and prejudices but the desire for exoticism also gives rise to fascination.
