| Sumario: | This paper brings immigrant politics in the settlement service industry into a conversation of pluriversality by proposing an onto-epistemological reading of participant interviews with migrant youth in Windsor Essex, Canada in order to question the individualised, imperial, neoliberal, Eurocentric and colonising assumptions with which we conventionally understand migrant youth resilience. This article offers a decolonial challenge to the epistemic logic and ontological dominance of Western world that has shaped research on migrant youth. This has implications for rethinking 'resilience' as the term of reference for migrant youth relationality and for encountering racialised migrants more reciprocally. This paper takes resilience to be a process of emerging and enacting care and reciprocity with the self, beings and non-beings.
