À partir d’enquêtes menées en Guyane française auprès d’associations de migrants haïtiens, cet article met en lumière la diversité d’un tel réseau. En quoi l’exercice spirituel est-il porteur de mobilisations collectives, et de quelle manière le contexte guyanais est-il pertinent pour l’engagement associatif ?

Notre thèse déclinée en trois parties s'inscrit précisément dans une réflexion sur l'engagement associatif à distance du migrant-acteur haïtien et jamaïcain, dans un cadre institutionnel français pour l'un et britannique pour l'autre. Au cœur d'un dispositif qui lie responsables locaux du pays d'origine et élus de la société d'accueil mettant en interaction différentes formes d'intervention de l'État d'origine, comment donc ce dernier peut-il alors agir et avoir un rôle incitatif en favorisant la participation de cette communauté transnationale ou encore en coordonnant des actions d...

In contrast, it argues for a deeper engagement of new mobility patterns and other routes that have emerged in localities often situated apart that have not been fully analysed together thus far. Further, an analysis of consequence of neoliberal policies through the use of civil society organisations (CSOs) versus a more effective use of the politics of decentralization contributes to increasing the understanding of both the mechanisms that reproduce (mis)management of resources and the constant marginalisation of constructive endogenous forces to address reparatory justice under the threat of climate change. From Abricots (Haiti) to Beirut (Lebanon), putting in dialogue regions that barely interact in the literature is intended to motivate future studies on the emerging connections between memory, long-distance civic engagement, South-South cooperation, and cl...

These transformations include processes of memory to connect with the extended transnational communities in order to tap into the resources and networks bringing domestic developmental assets. The myriad of approaches adopted for such topics, from raising awareness on displacement to providing mechanisms for members of marginalised groups to engage or re-engage with the host/ homeland country, have become part of the many challenges facing many emerging economies, in particular the Global South region which offers many examples of such practices. By focusing on the manner and means by which the diaspora communities engage and contribute to their country of origin, the chapters in this book seek to broaden the scope of transnational and memory studies beyond migration and settlement. Rather than seeing the displacement as an outflow of human disaster, this book shows how marginalised communities often serve as critical bridges that facilitate movements of resources, sharing of know-how and generate useful transnational networks for various socioeconomic initiatives. This book particularly addresses a relatively new approach to memory studies by shifting the focus from conventional transnational studies, which has so far been dominated by questions of how various diaspora groups adapt to the social, economic and political domains in the countries of settlement while seeking to maintain their own traditions and cultures. In line with this global thinking about displacement, this book addresses how several case studies come together and how they are connected to the above mention concepts. The current reality of the high number of non-citizens needs to be linked to the endeavours of rapidly changing cities due to hybrid practices and complex identity compositions generally falling outside of official surveys and standardised cartographies of urban constituencies. What is omitted is flow itself, and how 'flow' has dynamic spatial and temporal dimensions that contribute to the transformation of the city. Near and far xiv

The first case explores how migrant organisations of Haitian origin engagement in Parisian banlieues is beneficial to their homeland's development. The second case is from the village of Jaziret Fadel that has the biggest gathering of Palestinian who fled to Egypt since the outbreak of 1948 war. It emphasizes the exploration of their new technique of 'killing memory' to gain acceptance, belonging and create a new sense of home within a new spatial context. The third case focuses on how the Northern Uganda war between the LRA and the Ugandan Army (1987-2007) has formulated the Acholi's experience with war, violence, and flight, which has led to different local constructions of place, political belonging, and material and emotional connections. Accordingly, will such communities be able t...

Yet, the lack of economic perspectives and human rights' violations are push factors for emigration in a number of countries beyond the Mediterranean facing a gap in comprehensively addressing migratory challenges from a broad-based perspective. How can urbanization be addressed concerning the discourse about conflict-induced displacement without first identifying the noncitizen? Considering forced displacement induced by war/environmental disaster, this chapter situates its discussion of global displacement, war, and non-citizenship by exploring the interplay between place, power, and politics. It argues for deconstructing non-citizenship and reinstating displacement in the city by analysing the decision-making processes and experiences of non-citizens in the cities of Jeddah, D...

The focus is on how disasters and development are understood and experienced through the lens of decolonial thinking based on a discussion of the displaced issue in a complex global socio-economic context of the city. Because the third world is associated with development needs to be reformulated in terms of dialogues from different enunciation loci, it becomes pertinent to consider the decolonial epistemic perspective in a space that constantly faces disasters that jeopardize its development in the framework of the effects on the environmental landscape and local development initiatives of Hurricane Dorian. Based on an informative discussion of an institutional level analysis, the author concludes with important insights about the case of Haitians in the Bahamas to demonstrate some interesting implications for (mis)management through NGOs.
