Resumo
This chapter examines the complex interplay between hegemonic agendas, transnational practices, and emergent identities among Haitian migrants. Challenging the traditional notion of assimilation, the authors argue that Haitian transnationalism is not simply a continuation of pre-existing cultural patterns but rather a dynamic process shaped by the interaction between global forces and local realities. They explore how Haitian migrants navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by globalization, forming new identities and communities that transcend national boundaries while simultaneously maintaining strong ties to their homeland. The chapter highlights the agency of Haitian migrants in shaping their own destinies, demonstrating how they actively engage with and transform the dominant narratives surrounding immigration and national identity.
