Abstract

In this chapter, we focus on the role of structural/institutional racism in the (re)production of inequality in Brazilian society, and how it relates with Haitian migration in particular. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive reflection on the phenomenon of Haitian migration to Brazil and how the country’s characteristic structural racism impacts the experi-ences of Haitians living in the country. The first part of this chapter contains an analysis of the socio-historical conditions delineating structural racism in Brazil and the racist structures that sustain inequality in contemporary Brazil. In the second part we present the perceptions of Haitian populations living in Rio de Janeiro on racism in Brazil and how they feel impacted by it, drawing on a vast collection of data from Haitian migrants gathered as part of GCRF funded Migration for Development and Equality (MIDEQ) Hub.
