Description
Traditionnel pays d'immigration, la Guyane constitue une mosaïque de communautés dans laquelle les Haïtiens, arrivés à partir de 1974, constituent la principale composante. Cette migration massive, spontanée et clandestine, joue un rôle fondamental en Guyane non seulement sur le plan démographique mais également par sa contribution dans le système économique. Elle a cependant entraîné des difficultés de cohabitation avec la population autochtone, voire un phénomène de rejet. Depuis quelques années, un processus d'intégration semble enclenché, en relation avec trois séries de facteurs: le tarissement des flux migratoires à partir de 1985, la stabilisation de la communauté haïtienne et la situation guyanaise elle- même.
Is the Haitian community in the French Guiana being assimilated?
The French Guiana which is traditionally open to immigration, is made up of a medley of different communities, the largest of which is the Haitian community which has been settling there from 1974 onwards. This sizeable migration which was spontaneous and illicit, now plays a basic role, not only demographically but also through its impact on the economic system. Nevertheless it has involved tense, even sometimes hostile relations with the natives. For the last few years a process of assimilation seems to have started in connection with the three following parameters: the decrease of the migratory flow, from 1984 onwards, the stabilization of the Haitian community and the evolution of the Guianese situation as well.
