Afro-Brazilians’ life experiences in Paris are manifold. This paper examines the intercultural dynamic within the transnational European and French contexts and explores how nonwhite Brazilians negotiate their socio-racial relations and their strategies of integration and socialization. This piece draws from our fieldwork and semi-directive interviews carried out from 2005 to 2009 with Afro-Brazilians living in Paris. A particular emphasis was given to the subjective and inter-subjective cognitive processes underpinning the actions and the objective choices of this population in their daily lives. We have focused on the elements generated by the processes of identification which are paradoxically fluid and marked at the same time, revealing a combination that emphasizes the constructed feature of the ethno-racial identities both in Brazil and in France. Likewise, we could observe that the Brazilian skin color identification is repositioned in the French context where the Brazilian paradigm of chromatic racial classification gradually loses its singularity
