We propose an analytical reflection based on the results of two previous qualitative research conducted in Quebec (Canada) on the descendants of migrants. In the context of the intercultural intervention, sometimes we have to listen the silence of people experiencing racism. What does this silence mean? Here we show that the silence of these people is a form of resistance to exclusion that leads both to reinforce links of belonging and at the same time to weaken a global social link, this in a macrosocial context inscribed in a socio-historical process. In this perspective, it will be a question of articulating the subjective and social plans by making use of an interdisciplinary theoretical approach as well as an epistemology and a specific methodology.
