Abstract

NOVARO, Gabriela. Families, associations and schools: tensions in the national identifications of migrant children. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.44, pp.77-93. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n44.006.

In this article, I work on the identification processes of Bolivian children that live in the so-called "Bolivian neighborhood", near the city of Escobar in the province of Buenos Aires. I focus on how this issue develops in family, community and school contexts. I report the alternation between rendering references towards "bolivianity" folkloric or invisible in two local schools. I focus on the dialectics of hiding and signaling as a way to live and define foreignness in a neighborhood crossed by a strong process of identity affirmation in a national context.

Keywords : Identity; Processes Distinction; Signaling; Hiding..
