The aim of this paper is to understand the dynamics of political transnationalism of the colombian immigrants in NYC and New Jersey during the period 1990-2010 from their experiences of moral suffering and misrecognition - seen as identarian wounds- as well as from their searching for recognition. The paper initiates with a general characterization of the colombian immigration to this area, then it presents some cases of stigmatization experienced by these immigrants (mainly their stigmatization as immigrants, latinos and drug-dealers as well as their experiences of social exclusion). Finally, it explores briefly the fragmentation that takes place inside the organizations of the colombian immigrants in this zone.
