| Abstract (English): |
This article draws on the analysis of semi‐structured interviews to compare the immigration experiences of queer individuals from the Global North with those of their counterparts from the Global South. It examines the process of racialization experienced by some of these individuals upon arrival in Quebec/Canada, the transformation of this process when it had already been experienced in the country of origin, and the continued social recognition as white people for others. The article then examines the impacts of these processes on the construction of these immigrants' life stories in the host society, particularly in relation to their social class. It also demonstrates that the privilege enjoyed by individuals socially recognized as white manifests itself in the absence of challenges related to racialization in their life trajectories.

RÉSUMÉ: Cet article s'appuie sur l'analyse d'entretiens semi‐dirigés pour mettre en parallèle le parcours d'immigration de personnes queers du Nord global et celui de leurs homologues du Sud global. Il examine le processus de racialisation vécu par certaines de ces personnes une fois arrivées au Québec/Canada, la transformation de ce processus lorsque celui‐ci était déjà vécu dans le pays d'origine et le maintien de la reconnaissance sociale comme personnes blanches pour d'autres. L'article s'intéresse ensuite aux impacts de ces processus sur la construction des histoires de vie de ces personnes immigrantes dans la société d'accueil, en intersection, notamment, avec leur classe sociale. Il montre également que le privilège dont jouissent les personnes socialement reconnues comme blanches se manifeste par l'absence d'épreuves liés à la racialisation dans leurs parcours de vie.
