The otherness' ethnocentric construction such as homo infantilis was used by Europeans to justify colonial policies. Spanish colonial policies in Equatorial Guinea provide us a significant context to analyze this specific colonial image's socio-cultural meanings. This article seeks to understand some of this image's political meanings and functions during the Franco colonial period in Equatorial Guinea. This analysis throws some light upon some colonial policies, such as assimilation, implemented by some European countries in Africa as well as some modern social phenomenon such as racism. ; La construcción etnocéntrica del otro como homo infantilis fue utilizada ideológicamente por los europeos para justificar políticas coloniales. El caso particular de la política indígena española en Guinea Ecuatorial nos ofrece un ámbito socio-cultural singular para analizar algunos de los significados y las funciones políticas de esta imagen durante el primer franquismo. Este análisis nos permite profundizar en el alcance de algunas políticas coloniales desarrolladas por los europeos en el continente africano, como la asimilación y el desarrollo de fenómenos sociales modernos como el racismo.

"This book addresses how Latina/o immigrants use several strategies to meet adaptation challenges in the Washington D.C. area. Drawing on ethnographic research and practice, the authors focus on models of collaboration and interaction in institutions in the community that have offered opportunities for anthropologists to work with residents in activities that have contributed to knowledge and action"--Provided by publisher

Historic structural conditions from colonialism, power political structures coming from franquismo, and current processes of capital globalization are factors explaining that Equatorial Guinea has become a postcolonial country expelling refugees and migrants to is former colonial metropole (Spain) since its independence in 1968. This migratory movement is an example in which we can observe how postcolonial structural conditions linking sending and receiving countries and social networks affect current refugees and migrants' dynamics as well as the development of postcolonial transnational relationships. Based on ethnographic research done with refugees and migrants from Equatorial Guinea settled in the Madrid metropolitan region, this article describes and analyzes how these factors affect their modes of incorporation and adaptation to this host metropolitan area while maintaining social and cultural relationships with their home societies. ; Condiciones histórico-estructurales vinculadas al colonialismo, la pervivencia de estructuras de poder heredadas del franquismo y los actuales procesos de globalización del capital son algunos de los factores que explican que Guinea Ecuatorial continúe siendo un país expulsor de refugiados y migrantes desde su independencia en 1968. Y que España, como antigua metrópoli colonial, sea el país receptor de gran parte de su diáspora. El origen y el desarrollo de ésta no hace más que incidir en la asociación que en los estudios migratorios y transnacionales se ha establecido entre condiciones estructurales tanto en países expulsores como receptores con los modos de incorporación de refugiados y migrantes en los lugares de asentamiento, con el desarrollo de redes sociales y de relaciones transnacionales poscoloniales. A partir de investigaciones etnográficas llevadas a cabo con migrantes y refugiados ecuatoguineanos asentados en la región metropolitana de la Comunidad de Madrid, este artículo describe y analiza cómo estos factores afectan sus modos de incorporación y adaptación a esta región metropolitana, así como el mantenimiento de relaciones sociales y culturales con sus sociedades de origen.Historic structural conditions from colonialism, power political structures coming from franquismo, and current processes of capital globalization are factors explaining that Equatorial Guinea has become a postcolonial country expelling refugees and migrants to is former colonial metropole (Spain) since its independence in 1968.
