This article addresses the issue of Haitian migration in the Caribbean basin from a geodynamic point of view-that is to say, by focusing on the spatial dynamics of migratory flows that integrate societies of origin, settlement, and transit within the same framework. It approaches the geographies of Haitian mobility by situating the bilocal transnational migration field in the larger framework of the multilocal, global Haitian migration system. Transnational fields interconnect to weave a Caribbean system of migration and circulation. The observation of individuals' mobility patterns in this diasporic system reveals the strategic role of regional hubs (Miami, St. Martin, etc.), in which Caribbean migration fields (those that connect Haiti to the rest of the region) and extra-Caribbean mobility fields (i.e., intra-US or transatlantic fields) are interconnected
