Abstract
The bureaucratic plot experienced by Haitian migrants in Chile in order to obtain regularization and permanent residence generates a waiting space marked by uncertainty and risk and configures an unstable horizon of aspiration. This article analyzes how voodoo, as a main element of community building and protection, constitutes a capital for Haitians in Chile to better face the problems derived from negligent migration management.
