In recent years, there has been both legal and illegal mass movement of people from China, Venezuela, and Haiti within and to the Caribbean. Is this recent wave of migrants a problem or opportunity for the receiving economies and societies?
This mass movement of foreigners would definitely have an impact on territorial identity, culture, race, politics, economy, labor, globalization, diaspora, and transnationalism
The following are highlights of a ZOOM public meeting held recently (13/12/20) on the topic “The Impact of Chinese, Hispanic & Haitian Migrants on Trinidad, Guyana, and Suriname.”
The Pan-Caribbean meeting on the topic “The Impact of Chinese, Hispanic & Haitian Migrants on Trinidad, Guyana, and Suriname was hosted by the Indo-Caribbean Cultural Centre (ICC). It was chaired by Devika Bipat and moderated by Prija Gopalrai, both young women of Suriname.
