Abstract

In 1991, Philomena Essed highlighted the importance of studying contemporary racism, focusing on the interplay between the macro‐social dimension and its constant reactivation in everyday interactions. Later, psychologists redefined the pervasive experience of racism in everyday encounters in terms of racial microaggressions. Migrants and asylum seekers today constitute “ideal” candidates for this kind of experience. This is due to the persistent historical processes that harken back to Western colonialism and imperialism, as well as the growing hostility towards people migrating from the Global South. This hostility has been brewing for several decades in Western countries, and it manifests in both everyday informal interactions and institutional contexts, where migrants and asylum seekers constantly face racist attitudes.

移民后压力:种族微侵犯和日常歧视

1991年，菲洛梅娜·塞德强调了研究当代种族主义的重要性，重点关注宏观社会维度与日常互动中不断重新激活的种族主义之间的相互作用。后来，心理学家从种族微侵犯的角度重新定义了日常接触中普遍存在的种族主义体验。今天，移民和寻求庇护者构成了这种经历的“理想”候选人。这是由于追溯到西方殖民主义和帝国主义的持续历史进程，以及对来自全球南方移民的日益增长的敌意。这种敌意在西方国家已经酝酿了几十年，它体现在日常的非正式互动和制度背景中，移民和寻求庇护者经常面临种族主义态度。

期刊介绍： Social Inclusion is a peer-reviewed open access journal, which provides academics and policy-makers with a forum to discuss and promote a more socially inclusive society. The journal encourages researchers to publish their results on topics concerning social and cultural cohesiveness, marginalized social groups, social stratification, minority-majority interaction, cultural diversity, national identity, and core-periphery relations, while making significant contributions to the understanding and enhancement of social inclusion worldwide. Social Inclusion aims at being an interdisciplinary journal, covering a broad range of topics, such as immigration, poverty, education, minorities, disability, discrimination, and inequality, with a special focus on studies which discuss solutions, strategies and models for social inclusion. Social Inclusion invites contributions from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds and specializations, inter alia sociology, political science, international relations, history, cultural studies, geography, media studies, educational studies, communication science, and language studies. We welcome conceptual analysis, historical perspectives, and investigations based on empirical findings, while accepting regular research articles, review articles, commentaries, and reviews.
