Noises and silences in the migrant waiting: sound environments and racialization of listening in the Haitian community in Tapachula.

  • Mónica Bayuelo García

In light of the fact that listening is, in its most primordial sense, a form of social recognition, this article proposes a reflection of the process of sound and listening on the symbolic practices that strengthen a silencing towards and by migrant communities as policies of rejection. It explores the categories of silence, noise and racial appreciations from which the Haitian community in Tapachula, a city of forced waiting, is perceived by institutional actors and humanitarian organizations, manifesting diverse sentiments.
