SUMMARY:

This study explores the integration of Haitian immigrants in Porto Velho, Rondonia, following the 2010 earthquake that triggered significant migration to this region of the Brazilian Amazon. The study focuses on the experiences of identity reconstruction and the preservation of collective memories among these immigrants within a distinct and challenging sociocultural context. Utilizing qualitative methodologies, particularly oral history, the study delves into how these individuals maintain their cultural traditions, adapt to new social and economic realities, and manage their interactions with the local community. It emphasizes the analysis of barriers faced in the integration process, including language difficulties, discrimination, and restricted access to essential public services such as health and education. Moreover, the study details the role of support networks formed by other immigrant communities and non-governmental organizations in facilitating the Haitians' adaptation to life in Porto Velho. The aim is to provide a comprehensive portrait of the complexities faced by Haitian immigrants and to suggest ways in which public policies and community initiatives can be improved to effectively support their social and economic inclusion. This study hopes to contribute to a deeper understanding of forced migration and its long-term implications for host societies, like Brazil.
