- Ties that (Un)bind? The Case of Latin Americans in Portugal and Spain Julia Alves Brasil Rosa Cabecinhas Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) racism Migration Latin America colonial past social psychology Latin American migration to Portugal and Spain is usually facilitated by the historical and cultural ties that bind Latin American and Iberian countries. Nevertheless, these bonds might also function as a means of reinforcing power asymmetries and social hierarchies. Based on Decolonial Thinking and on theories of Social Psychology, this study is aimed at analyzing the dual role of these ties, both as factors of approximation and as instruments of domination and violence. Therefore, we conducted individual interviews with 23 Latin Americans (from Brazil, Chile and Mexico), aged between 18 and 49 years old, who migrated to Portugal or Spain. Data were analyzed through Thematic Analysis. The results allowed us to discuss: the use of language as an instrument of domination; the existence of negative stereotypes regarding Latin America(ns) and the process of essentialization of the “Other”; and how Latin Americans are sometimes seen as a preferred type of migrant and at other times as being eternal foreigners. We hope this study serves as an incentive for future reflections on how the different forms of coloniality might still shape present-day intergroup relations among countries with a shared colonial past. 2018 artículo científico 1641-4713 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=243360086006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2433/243360086006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2433/243360086006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2433/243360086006/243360086006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2433/243360086006/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2433 Revista del CESLA application/pdf University of Warsaw Revista del CESLA (Polonia) Num.22
