The second part analyzes subjectivations of Brazilian immigrant women in Portugal, drawing on interviews and participant observation, to unveil situations of prejudice and discrimination and shed light on how the women confront the discursive orderby resisting and re-existing as subjects.

Three modes of subjectivation are identified by which these women resist stigma and re-exist: passive, affirmative, and combative resistance.
