Abstract

The issue of the Caribbean diaspora, a phenomenon inherent in the very process of shaping these spaces, has being characterized by the establishment of Arawak communities, Iberian invasion, genocides, slave trade, constant moving to and from a new space, and because of that, it has created a problem for the thought and a notion that seeks its conceptual precision. The Caribbean is with its diaspora a world that is continuously expanding, diffracting. This is the topic this text is dedicated to.
