| description | Our personal identity is largely dependent on external recognition. This identity can be threatened when that external recognition is not accorded with the intensity required or in situations where stigmatisation is involved. That is when a series of socio-cognitive processes begin to take place in order to strengthen identity. These phenomena are peculiar when they develop within marginalised minorities such as migrants in many countries. The specific case of the Afghan community living in the Madrid region (Spain) is analysed in this article. This community is particularly relevant due to the high risk of stigmatisation to which it is subjected but also in view of its members’ considerable skills to cope with it. |

This identity can be threatened when that external recognition is not accorded with the intensity required or in situations where stigmatisation is involved. That is when a series of socio-cognitive processes begin to take place in order to strengthen identity. These phenomena are peculiar when they develop within marginalised minorities such as migrants in many countries. The specific case of the Afghan community living in the Madrid region (Spain) is analysed in this article. This community is particularly relevant due to the high risk of stigmatisation to which it is subjected but also in view of its members’ considerable skills to cope with it. Nuestra identidad personal depende en gran medida del reconocimiento ajeno. Cuando éste no se presta con la intensidad demandada, e incluso se produce una estigmatización, la propia identidad se ve amenazada y se ponen en marcha una serie de operaciones socio-cognitivas para fortalecerla. Estos fenómenos se producen de manera especial en el caso de las minorías marginadas, como pueden serlo los migrantes en muchos países. En este artículo se estudia el caso particular del colectivo afgano en la Comunidad de Madrid (España). Este colectivo resulta de particular interés en razón del fuerte riesgo de estigmatización al que se haya sometido, así como por la notable habilidad de sus integrantes para hacerle frente.
