Resumo
The forced international immigration is a product of the globalized modern world; a phenomenon that increases every year, and brings with it innumerable challenges and responsibilities. In the middle of the immigrants that request asylum when arrive in Brazil, the natives from the Democratic Republic of the Congo are one of the most significant group. Recognizing the historical protagonism from each person that was forced to migrate, this paper aimed to investigate and comprehend the Congolese migration experience in the city of São Paulo in the first decades of the 21st century, and promote a reflection about the reasons by which they leave their home country, their daily life in the new city, their process of local integration and insertion, their sociocultural interchange and their identities. After a long period of interviews, and sustained by the oral history methodology, the Congolese migration experience of the city was represented through the life and the trajectory of a particular Congolese refugee, extremely loquacious, politicized, and active in the Congolese community in the city. The uses of biography and the concept of cultural circularity as analytical-interpretive approaches in the field of cultural history enable to comprehend this Congolese Refugee as a singular person and a collective subject, such as a particular case and a totality in connection, which brings with her fragments of an era, a context, a social group, a culture. Despite exceptional, her narratives correspond to a shared socio-cognitive scheme, constructs of a sociocultural and political environment. Thus, in the relation and circulation between part and whole, and between social and cultural elements, the individual trajectory and the diversity of the human experience that is included on her were able to light up above the historical reality of who lives the asylum in São Paulo. A migration experience: marked by innumerable difficulties, like social inclusion, participation and economic autonomy, recognition of the identity and social condition, acquisition of work and housing, facing the xenophobia, racism, and a varied type of prejudice; revealing the importance of a cooperative and cherish community, born in the asylum context; made in the middle of the transformation process, in which the cultures in contact became multiple and pass by reinterpretation, both promoted by the cultural exchanges that the life in the diaspora enables and requires.
