This book analyzes how the increase in migration from other Latin
American countries to countries of the American Southern Cone such
as Brazil, Argentina and Chile has generated a crisis fueled by the
emergence of hate discourses towards migrant populations. While
extracontinental migration to Europe, North America and elsewhere
has waned over the last decades, migration between Latin American
countries has increased dramatically as a product of the
differential development of the region's economies, violence, and
political turmoil. This book sets out to explain the effects of
these trends by analyzing statistical data, official documents and
ethnographic material gathered over a long period of research
carried out throughout South America. The volume is divided in two
parts. In the first part, it presents a theoretical contribution,
synthesizing particularities of intraregional migration in Latin
America, as well as the emergence of hate discourses towards
migrant populations, developing approaches oriented towards a
critical gender perspective. It also underlines important
contributions that Latin American migration studies can make to
current debates about migration across the globe. In the second
part, it presents case studies dedicated to Argentina, Brazil and
Chile. The Migration Crisis in the American Southern Cone: Hate
Speech and its Social Consequences will be a valuable resource to
migration studies researchers by presenting fresh theoretical and
empirical contributions to the field from a Latin American
perspective.
