Also, I study how those women forge hybrid identities in liminal spaces beyond racial mixture. Through these three categories of identification I explore the construction of specific forms of gendered racism that women from Latin America are subjected to. By addressing identity through the focus on racism and intermeshed oppressions, I propose three categories to explore the tensions between the self-identification and the external representation in which these women are involved: la latina, la mestiza, and the förort. ![]() My reflections are based on an archive of thirty-three oral histories that I have conducted in the Swedish cities of Gothenburg, Stockholm and Uppsala. This research focuses on the identity negotiations that women with Latin American origin articulate to resist in response to the everyday racism that they face in Sweden. ![]()
