Her aunt had promised to help her enter university and study psycho- logy in Germany. The interview” was about narratives of belonging and the mastery of everyday life within the context of transmigration, Brazil-Berlin. In it, Fernanda repeatedly com- mented in detail about her experiences of discrimination and linked them to the exo- I want to thank all of the women I worked with during my research for sharing with me their time, feelings and experiences. Additionally, special thanks go to my supervisor Ingrid Kummels and to Heike Drotbohm, Sergio Costa and Stephan Palmie for critical comments and suggestions. ?

For stylistic reasons, I only mark longer pauses within the narratives by ... and remarkable changes in voice and corporal manifestation with [ ] in this paper. Only one of the women, ‘Fernanda’, asked me to change her name after the close reading of this paper that I did with all of my interviewees.
