Resumen:
In this chapter we discuss the experiences of young Bolivian migrants living and working in a brick factory in a rural area near the city of Córdoba. We talk about lineage and transnational networks that help to improve the poor living and working conditions. Discuss some practices of resistance inscribed in memory of young bolivians, that are re- signified in their stories on ways to face and / or faced painful life experiences and stress situations, fear, loss and uncertainty. The reports resistance study will allow us to understand the emotions involved in their experiences. Considering they are agents capable of putting in question the stereotypes of submission that are assigned in the host society, we show how they resist without confronting, through mechanisms such as travel to other places, irony practices in the workplace and contingent utopias under which they plan to achieve some degree of socioeconomic mobility and / or ethnic - racial whitening. Related with the perspective that includes the immigration ambivalence conditions, placing the discussion focus over the tension between the of oppression reality and the freedom search as a characteristic feature of many migratory experiences, consider rebuilding these experiences allow us to reflect about the continued strength in the migration experience.
