Migration is a “total social fact” characteristic of history, but the structuring of the triad patriarchy-colonialism-capitalism produced, intensified, and complexified the contemporary movements, with emphasis on the “feminization of migration” and its possible ambivalent effects, as a possibility of autonomy or a new form of submission. The same can be said about the growing relevance assumed by the entrepreneurship cultural phenomenon, especially in countries with higher levels of poverty and inequality, revealing its ideological production as a systemic need and the crossing by intersectional subordination, which generates the same possible ambivalence, as a way of social insertion or marginalization and exclusion. In this scenario, the established objective was to understand the identity process of entrepreneurial migrant women through the study of identity as a metamorphosis in search of emancipation, analyzing whether or not there was an emancipatory sense allowed by immigration and entrepreneurship. The relevance of this study is manifested in the magnitude that these phenomena have been assuming in the last decades and its constitution as a recent and rarely explored thematic field, with fruitful possibilities of reflection from the “Critical Social Psychology” by making it possible to denaturalize the “entrepreneurial immigrant woman” through a dialectic look at her singularity and the materialization of the universality of the human in the daily particularity. The method was based on the comprehensive model, using life history narratives as an instrument that enables the expression of the meanings of those considered co-authors of the knowledge produced, in this case, four immigrant women of different nationalities involved in entrepreneurial activities living in São Paulo. It was found that immigration is characterized as a process of denial of denial since, by changing the historical-social determinants and maximizing the metamorphosis of metamorphosis, it brings different identity possibilities to overcome the existing objective limitations. Moreover, the rupture with the unthinking replacement of daily life enables a more critical appropriation and the attribution of new meanings to social significations. In contrast, the experience of social marginalization stimulates the dereification of consciousness and the confrontation of naturalized hegemonic patterns. Therefore, the thesis defended is that the multiple belonging generated by migration can favor the construction of political identity, recreated from tradition and translated with originality to new relations, which frees from the framing of any identity totality. Similarly, entrepreneurship can also be experienced as an emancipatory possibility and can be configured as a way to achieve self-determination and create independent projects, which enable a social insertion based on participation and negotiation relations in order to favor integration and strength a critical collective identity that the surroundings can recognize. In a context that favors the “establishment of walls”, the challenge is to “build bridges” that can welcome diversity and recognize all individuals as integral human beings, overcoming the emphasis on alterity to enable the construction of a multiracial and pluricultural society, based on solidarity, respect for differences, social justice and recognition of rights, through the proposition of transnational citizenship, regardless of culture or nationality
