“…Transmigrants create such identities because of social, political economic and labor related inequality experienced in their host country. 16, 24 Contemporary immigrants create transnational identities to cope with their new environment, build resiliency, and sustain close contact with their home state. 25, 26 This transnational identity sets transmigrants apart from those who are indigenous to the host country.…”

This article advances nursing research by presenting transnationalism as a framework for inquiry with contemporary immigrants. Transnationalism occurs when immigrants maintain relationships that transcend the geographical borders of their origin and host countries. Immigrants use those relationships to experience health differently within concurrent socioeconomic, political and cultural contexts than national situated populations. Nurse researchers are called upon to consider these trans-border relationships when exploring the health of contemporary immigrants. Such consideration is needed to develop relevant research designs, methods, analysis, and dissemination strategies.

“…Race and colour are ‘not constructed into mutually exclusive bipolar categories of black/white. Rather there is a continuum, conceptualized as a gradation along the lines of color.’ (Charles 1992, p. 107). Nor have Miami's Haitians in any substantial way assimilated to any other ethnic group.…”

“…For the majority of Haitian immigrants, the goal is not to achieve social status [in their new country or city of residence] but to have a better economic position and more importantly to save. Therefore, it is possible to separate position in the work place, which gives access to economic betterment, from their social and cultural life, which takes place primarily in reference to Haiti’ (Charles 1991, pp. 113–115).…”

Locals, Exiles and Cosmopolitans: A Theoretical Argument About Identity and Place in Miami

Recent theoretical advances point to the dynamic and plural nature of processes of identity formation. Moreover, the ascendance of the globalisation paradigm implies a greater emphasis on their geographical dimension in terms of place and mobility. Illustrated with the case of Miami, this paper presents a theoretical argument about place, mobility and identity in contemporary global cities. The need to go beyond conventional and singular categories of identity is argued, with special reference to the impact of rapid increases in spatial mobility. In this paper, the role of Miami's different populations is framed in the context of their geographical identities and the ways they identify with Miami as locals, exiles and cosmopolitans. The high mobility of Miami's population and the small number of locals pose some major challenges, with implications for this city's civil society. The case of Miami also sheds a different, and less idealistic, light on the meaning of cosmopolitanism. Copyright (c) 2007 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG.

“…Esta nova imigração representa a inserção do país na rota das migrações transnacionais no século 21 (GUARNIZO et al, 2003), refletindo, de um lado, o processo emigratório histórico do Haiti (BRODWIN, 2003;CHARLES, 1992;LAGUERRE, 1998) e, de outro, as restrições dos Estados Unidos e Europa para a recepção dessa imigração. Busca-se compreender a entrada do Brasil na emigração do Haiti, seja como país de destino ou de trânsito (FERNANDES et al, 2011) no âmbito da migração de crise (SIMON, 1995;CLOCHARD, 2007).…”

Este artigo tem como principal objetivo o estudo da emigração de haitianos e haitianas para o Brasil, a partir da perspectiva teórica das migrações de crise (SIMON, 1995;CLOCHARD, 2007). Parte-se da reconstrução do panorama emigratório do Haiti até a consolidação do Brasil como espaço estratégico deste fluxo imigratório, seja como país de destino ou de trânsito (FERNANDES et al., 2014;BAENINGER; PERES, 2015). Diante do complexo cenário das migrações internacionais no país, utiliza-se o aporte de metodologias mistas (ARIZA; GANDINI, 2012) com análises de registros administrativos brasileiros e também de pesquisa de campo. O perfil sociodemográfico desses imigrantes revela especificidades importantes, como sua condição documentada a partir da concessão de vistos humanitários pelo governo brasileiro ou de solicitações de refúgio. Esta característica dos imigrantes haitianos no Brasil sustenta uma dinâmica diferenciada em relação a outros contingentes migrantes no país, como sua inserção no mercado de trabalho formal e sua migração interna. A presença haitiana no Brasil denota a complexidade do campo social da migração de crise e seus desafios na lógica internacional da emigração de países periféricos para a periferia do capital (BASSO, 2003).Palavras-chaves: Migração internacional. Migração haitiana. Migração de crise.
