“…However, once they pass that hurdle, become more privileged migrants, with many spatial rights and security, they use consumption practices to place themselves in their 'correct' places as middle-class citizens rather than migrants. In her research with Vietnamese migrants in East London, Wilkins (2019) notes that housing precarity for these migrants led to some form of more established conditions after decades. Some long-established migrants managed to buy accommodation that had been allocated to them through housing associations, whilst renting was the only viable option for more recent migrants (in the last decade) (Wilkins, 2019).…”

“…We see here that the duration of residence in a country but also the era of entry are important factors that can lead to more security or precarity. Sometimes, renting is considered to provide more flexibility but as Wilkins (2019) argues, drawing on Parutis (2011), renting can also be an acceptable option for those who see their time in the country as temporary and who plan to make their future homes elsewhere.…”

Migration regimes are powerful forces that allow or deny individuals, in different ways, the possibilities of feeling at home, imagining home or doing home. This chapter draws on existing literature to show how migrant status, class and race intersect not only with each other but with gender, age, and other power relations in structuring these im/possibilities through bordering processes linked to global geopolitical and postcolonial processes. Firstly, the chapter explores how privileged migrant groups can draw on their available capital to reproduce comfortable notions of home in migration, and how different migration/citizenship regimes enable this. Secondly, the focus is brought to the phenomenon of enforcement, precarity and stuckness in migration, as a lens through which to explore how migrant status, class and race limit the possibilities of feeling at home for other migrant groups and how they navigate these limitations and borders in seeking to find and make home in the world.

“…Experiencias similares se dan en otros países, como es el caso de los vietnamitas en la ciudad de Londres. Han sido descritas por Annabelle Wilkins (2020), quien analiza los procesos de resignificación de los espacios habitados por migrantes desde las prácticas asociadas tanto a lo laboral como a lo religioso. Si bien su foco está en las resignificaciones del sentido de hogar, lo vincula de manera más amplia con el sentido de pertenencia al barrio, la ciudad y la nación (p. 4).…”

El siguiente artículo propone abordar las prácticas espaciales de apropiación del entorno barrial de migrantes haitianos residentes en las comunas de Estación Central y Quilicura de la ciudad de Santiago, Chile. Se plantea indagar, desde una metodología etnográfica que combina biografías migrantes y mapas cognitivos, sobre los posibles conflictos y/o tensiones en relación con los usos del espacio barrial derivados de las prácticas espaciales desplegadas por migrantes que habitan barrios centrales ubicados en las inmediaciones de la comuna de Estación Central, así como de aquellos que durante los últimos años han poblado comunas periféricas de la ciudad de Santiago, como es el caso de la comuna de Quilicura. Los principales resultados apuntan a la relevancia de las adscripciones religiosas y vida sociocultural en el entorno barrial como estrategias de adscripción barrial, en un contexto en el que se ponen en juego las tensiones asociadas a los procesos de desterritorialización y reterritorialización asociados al fenómeno migratorio.
