The Realities of Haitian Migrations

In Haitian Creole with simultaneous interpretation into English

Individuals who migrate often experience the loss of cultural norms, religious customs, and social support systems. The adjustment to a new culture brings forth changes in identity and concept of self. In the case of Haiti, how do these changes affect the motherland – and the Haitian communities of the Diaspora? In this panel, academics and experts in the literary field will speak to the issue of Haitian migration, racial, gender, and national identity, and ultimately, of life in the balance. With Pauris Jean-Baptiste (writer), Pierre Buteau (historian), Inéma Jeudi (journalist), and Claude Charles (ethnologist). Moderated by Marleine Bastien, Executive Director of FANM. 

Reyalite Migrasyon Ayisyen
Se yon bagay ki rive souvan: moun ki kite peyi yo pèdi nòm kiltirèl, koutim relijye, ak sistèm ankadreman sosyal yo. Adaptasyon a yon nouvo kilti mennen chanjman nan idantite ak nan konsèp yon moun genyen de tèt li. Nan ka Ayiti, ki konsekans chanjman sa yo genyen sou peyi zansèt nou yo – ak kominote ayisyen yo nan dyaspora a? Nan panèll sa a, pwofesè inivèsite ak ekspè nan domèn literati pral pale de kesyon migrasyon ayisyen an—de ras, de sèks, idantite nasyonal… epi alafen, de lavi nan balans lan. Avèk Pauris Jean-Baptiste (ekriven), Pierre Buteau (istoryen), Inéma Jeudi (jounalis), ak Claude Charles (etnològ). Animatè: Marleine Bastien, Direktè egzekitif FANM.
