How Othering Frames Agency for non-Western Immigrants in Europe

Bachelor thesis | Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (BSc)
This thesis contends with embedded forms of (post)colonialism found within contemporary immigration procedures faced by non-Western immigrants in Europe. While reflecting on how colonial hierarchies and Othering is sustained through certain immigration processes the concept of agency is considered. Ultimately, this thesis finds that it is within the structure of victimhood that non-Western immigrants and refugees are able to maneuver and negotiate significant degrees of agency.
