Summary/Abstract: After crossing the borders of nations, migrants and refugees often encounter racialized and gen- dered institutional and social boundaries in the places where they seek refuge. Based on ethno- graphic fieldwork conducted in Brazil on displaced Muslim, Palestinian Iraqi War refugees, this article examines the education-migration link in the refugee selection process and formal and informal institutions of education. It considers how these structures produce and reproduce oth- erness and the dynamic methods refugees utilize to combat and transcend limitations imposed on them. It develops the concept of gendered pedagogies of migrant (dis)integration to analyze the gendered racialization processes that influence belonging.
