“…By contrast, the literature on the criminalization of migration in the Global South is incipient (Barbero, 2019;Oliveira Moreira, 2020;Stang & Stefoni, 2016). With the recent unprecedented level of Venezuelan displacement, scholarship has underscored the overall criminalization of Venezuelan migrants in the region (García, 2020;Pineda & Ávila, 2019).…”

While the criminalization and hyper‐sexualization of Venezuelanmigrants and refugees across South America have received growing scholarly attention, fairly little is known about the coping strategies of migrants in this context. In this article, we build on quantitative and qualitative data from a survey (N = 100), 72 in‐depth interviews, and five focus groups with Venezuelan immigrants in five Peruvian cities, collected between 2018 and 2020, to explore how they make sense of, and react to, negative shifts in public opinion on immigration and the criminalization of Venezuelan nationals. We identify two broad coping mechanisms: (a) opposition to their criminalization, including its satirical ridiculing, and (b) intra‐group boundary‐making and “othering.” Our findings make an important contribution to the literature on migrant responses to criminalization and intra‐group relations in the Global South.

“…Although the content varies considerably within youth migration scholarship, the focus is on young people having an ‘experience’ that is connected and impacted, in some way, by an act that is defined as migration. Some recent representative examples explore migrant youth experience of settlement and unemployment (Abur and Spaaij, 2016; Shibuya et al, 2020), migrant youth’s gendered experience of belonging (Michail and Christou, 2016), the aspirational experience of young migrants in Greece (Katartzi, 2021), young migrants’ experience of racialisation in the context of white nationalism (Barbero, 2020), and the transnational mobile youth experiences around ‘life plans, aspirations and imaginings of intimate relationships with people and places’ (Harris et al, 2020: 1). These experiences of settlement, unemployment, belonging, racialisation and aspirations are closely connected to the phenomenon known as migration.…”

Migrant youth and the idea of the ‘migrant experience’

The article opens a conversation around what constitutes a ‘migration experience’ by identifying and examining various analytical frameworks that constitute an ‘experience’ as migration. Unlike previous approaches to describing young people’s ‘migrant experiences’, I do not take the notion as self-explanatory; rather, what we come to know as the ‘migrant experience’ hides various epistemological and political processes. I begin with an analysis of different conceptualisations of experience such as mediated, unmediated and experience as strangeness. The discussion then moves onto how these inform the spatial/temporal, critical and phenomenological accounts of an event known as the migration experience. The second part of the article demonstrates what empirical analysis may entail when we examine the idea of the migration experience as an analytical category. By drawing on my students’ self-reflective papers on their migration experience, specifically their stories on being Othered in the host and ‘home’ country and their experience of hybrid identities, we open an analytical space that reveals constructive tensions and synergies among the analytical frameworks. In so doing, the article illuminates and contributes to conceptualising the ‘migrant experience’ as both a category of analysis and practice.
