Abstract

In this article, we re-connect highly unequal mobilities in the Caribbean that have so far escaped the purview of migration research and challenge dominant understandings of migrant integration: By replacing the methodological Occidentalism shaping the field through a creolized decolonial lens, we show how the precarious position of Haitians in the Greater Caribbean and particularly in French Guiana testifies to how colonial histories shape unequal mobilities until the present. We juxtapose these patterns between the first independent Black Republic and territories still under colonial occupation with short-cuts to global mobility available to investors in commodified citizenships in the Caribbean.

摘要

在这篇文章中，我们重新联系了加勒比海地区目前尚未纳入移民研究范围的高度不平等的流动性，并挑战了对移民融合的主流理解：通过取代通过克里奥尔化的非殖民化镜头塑造该领域的方法论西方主义，我们展示了如何海地人在大加勒比地区，尤其是在法属圭亚那的不稳定地位证明了直到现在，殖民历史如何塑造不平等的流动性。我们将第一个独立的黑人共和国和仍处于殖民占领下的领土之间的这些模式与加勒比商品化公民身份的投资者可获得的全球流动捷径并列。
