MARRONI, María da Gloria e MORA CAICEDO, Ángela Rocío. Haitian Migration and Racism: Multiculturalism´s Limitations?. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2024, vol.19, e687. Epub 08-Mar-2024. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2024.v19.687.
What contradictions may be perceived between the core ideas underlying multiculturalism related to people´s right to free transit across national borders and the mobility restrictions imposed on certain groups under neoliberalism? How are these contradictions expressed, in the case of Afro-descendant Haitian migrants? Through the concept of intersectionality, this paper reveals the way in which the construction of the negative otherness of this population segment originates in their own country and is later transferred to their migration routes. This outcome is analyzed from the standpoint of a key element: the racism stemming from French colonialism. Other historical, political, demographic, and economic factors are also part of this process; together with environmental vulnerability and the neoliberal strategies implemented at the end of the twentieth century, all of which have rendered the survival of population unfeasible, forcing them to migrate.
