'For them, we are not humans!’: housing, space and monitoring of racialized violences in Portugal

Abstract This article presents a critical analysis on a set of reports produced by national and international agencies that, in the course of the last two decades, have been monitoring racialized inequalities in access to housing. The analysis is informed by an ethnographic journey throughout a set of self-produced spaces and rehousing projects inhabited mainly by Roma populations, aiming to explore the relationship between segregation, racialization and dehumanization processes in contemporary Portugal.
