Abstract

This article is about how the Haitian migrant women identities are constituted in the urban space of Santiago de Chile; this taking into account, identity as a process and geographical construct, which is built in its relationship with gender, race and social class, thinking of Davis (2004), and as that construction of blackness, with slavery processes (FANON, 2009), they are juxtaposed in an interrelation both within the Haitian community and with the Chilean community. This article, they manage to link that theoretical experience, with the tangible experience, through interviews with five Haitian women during the month of March of the year 2019, who migrated to Chile, in a period of time from 2017 to 2018; The methodology of this work was that of Snow Ball, and the synthesis of these interviews was carried out by means of the content analysis of Bardin (1977). The composition of their experiences, such as foreigners, Haitian migrants, deniers, and women, is essential to develop a work, which opens doors for intercultural, and intersectional understanding, in terms of the symbolisms of discrimination present in our country, and as These symbolics translate into tangible experiences in black feminine corporality, migrants in relation to a hegemonic power structure like the Chilean one.
