Abstract

Are international migrants transnational protest agents? Do they involve themselves in the northern NGOs devoted to defending human rights? On what roads does transnational human rights activism travel? On the crossroads on two fields of study privileged by a transnational approach, protest and migrations, and based on a case study, this article offers answers to these questions. The work is supported by well-formed knowledge of Latin American migration in France, and the examination of the experience of a human rights defense association, deeply involved in Latin America. The mechanisms of transnational action are specified and analyzed, and an explanation for the Colombian case is proposed: the permanence of the practice of Rebusque (tirelessly seeking any kind of livelihood).
