Caribbean diasporic spaces and mobilities, transnational incorporation overseas and transnational capacity-building on return
Long-held traditions of international mobility, emigration, and temporary circulation, and of family-centered networks, together forge intra-regional and extra-regional systems of social exchanges, transfers and support structures that directly and indirectly influence the development of the Caribbean region.

Une situation expliquée par le discours gouvernemental, qui qualifie…
