COUTO, Kátia. The presence of haitians in the eastern region of cuba and the organization of george sylvain society (1927-1952). Hist. Caribe [online]. 2012, vol.7, n.21, pp.181-195. ISSN 0122-8803.

In this report we present an overview of the Antillean immigration process in eastern Cuba, detaining us especially in the workers coming from Haiti. We have analyzed the discourse presented in the press and its contribution to the construction of an negative imaginary about these workers. We'll talk of repatriation, founded organization, and also about Santiago de Cuba by Haitians to educate their descendents in their culture and national identity, called George Sylvain Association.

Keywords : Migration; association; identity.
