Overview

This article explores class and racial dynamics in migratisation experiences of privileged migrants, revealing complex power structures.

Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze how race interacts with class in the migratisation of racially minoritized privileged migrants.
  • Utilized biographical narrative interviews with eight racially minoritized privileged migrants.
  • Examined experiences of migratisation related to linguistic capitals in Western contexts.
  • Analyzed the intersection of race and class in evaluations of linguistic capital.
  • Participants faced challenges in migratisation despite privileged positions and linguistic abilities.
  • Racialization often complicated perceptions of class privilege in migratisation contexts.
  • Threefold alignment (capital, field, embodiment) is crucial in evaluating linguistic capital in racially minoritized individuals.
