A VINDA DE UMA FAMÍLIA HAITIANA PARA O BRASIL SOB A ÓTICA DA TEORIA DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS

Abstract

With the growth of the flow of Haitians to Brazil, since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, there was a great migratory movement of these subjects to Brazil. In this way, the present research sought to discuss the reasons, challenges and consequences arising from this immigration, how they represented themselves in Haiti and how they now represent themselves in this new country. For this, a bibliographical study on the theory of social representations was carried out, in Serge Moscovici, and a semi-structured interview that was applied to a group of Haitians living in the State of Paraná. The data collected through the interview demonstrated the impact of this immigration in Brazil, through the generation of conflicts between the social representation of Haitians and Brazilians, causing social indifference and prejudices. We bet that indifference and prejudice between Brazilians and Haitians can be overcome by changes in their social representations.
