            Abstract

            This paper presents a view of a Central European city as a space where memory processes pr
            for understanding everyday racism. Participatory research gave voice to otherwise muted ex
            constructed “others” living in the Beautiful City as they navigate and experience racism. 

            under the disciplinary gazes of those constructed as a hegemonic population and its occasi
            aggressions give account of how the urban space remains an essential part of a mechanism o
            visible “others”. The hegemonic population perceives urban space as neutral, considering r

            or an accidental phenomenon. On the contrary; the analysed experiences are only possible t
            the hidden existence of a racial hierarchy, based on the locals’ performed right of belong

            Such a hidden hierarchy constitutes a key element for understanding racism in East-Central
