Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book offers an ethnographic exploration of Brazil's unique open-door policy for Syrian refugees during the 2013 crisis, contrasting their experiences with those of Congolese asylum seekers. While both groups achieve similar asylum rates, their journeys differ significantly; Syrians enjoy expedited processes and a welcoming environment, whereas Congolese face suspicion and lengthy waits. Jensen highlights the racial dynamics influencing these disparities, rooted in Brazil's historical immigration policies. Ultimately, even after obtaining asylum, both groups continue to face struggles and discrimination.
