| Sumari: | The article sets forth the following thesis: there is a close connection between protracted mobility and the formation and ensuing growth of the Haitian diaspora. This relationship, one that has deep historical roots, intensified in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Haiti, in January 2010. The catastrophe triggered a massive exodus of its population in the Americas, an ongoing process up until the present. The empirical grounds to outline the ideas presented here come from interviews carried out in Tapachula, Chiapas. Findings contribute to sketch a framework to study further protracted mobility, including phases of immobility (i.e., pauses, delays, waiting periods, etcetera), vis-à-vis a diasporic experience. Furthermore, results point to the need to explore the connection among onward migration, and the temporary and permanent destinations that make possible the Haitian diasporic experience in the Americas. |
