Young migrant rural- urbano r members of the second or third generation of migrants suffer strong breaks in the construction of youth identity, starting from process of uprooting that split them values and rural traditional models of their parents and grandparents, and placed them in an urban framework which does not belong, facing them dilemnas as not knowing “where to go, or they become” (Hobsbaum, 2000, p. 146). They have a vague memory of the significant rural and urban have difficulties to build related job or residencial, by constant processes of exclusion and marginalization fof those who are victims. As a result, for these yuong people the city ends falling to the neighborhood, as space for resignificance of teritoriality, place where battling their constant struggles to find a form of representation outside the idea of victims or perpetrator. This article aims to make a tour of violences direct, sturctural and symbolic that young children of displaced persons face in day to day in cities like Medellín, and the impact that they have on the processes of re construction of identity, an identity which is moved from the rural, related to their traditional values, but that doesnot still hold in urban space.
