In this thesis I explore the experiences of, and the attitudes towards, 'neighbouring migrants' - immigrants from Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay, as well as certain internal, Argentine migrants - in Buenos Aires. I argue that these experiences and attitudes are shaped by intersectional relationships of class, race (in particular whiteness), and national identity, yet are mediated by territorial identities - themselves constructed by various intersectional processes. The thesis also contrasts the consequences of contemporary flows of immigration with the waves of European immigration that were central to Argentina's nation-building project, demonstrating the persistent power of these early migratory patterns. Drawing on a range of theories influenced by autonomist Marxism, anarchism, and feminism, the thesis demonstrates the importance of reengaging with ideas of class when considering immigrants' everyday experiences and struggles, and relationships with social/labour movements. However, it argues that while understandings of class must be intersectional, intersectionality has to recognise the unique nature of the class relationship, and how this extends far beyond the workplace and processes of production. The thesis therefore adopts an 'intersectional class struggle analysis', which is combined with the autonomist Marxist idea of 'class composition' to explore both the difficulties and possibilities of 'neighbouring migrants'' political activity. In the thesis I also explore the importance of space and territory, arguing that Buenos Aires has seen a rise in 'territorial subjectivities'. These territorial subjectivities are themselves constructed intersectionally, but can go on to normalise and obfuscate the processes that form them, and thus need unpacking. Through an engagement with radical conceptions of territory - themselves heavily influenced by contemporary Latin American struggles and social movements - the thesis demonstrates how territorial identities, subjectivities, and attachments can both help and hinder intersectional class struggles. Ultimately this thesis shows that territorial identities, subjectivities, and attitudes cannot be decoupled from intersectional class, and vice versa.
