Imigração haitiana e a relação com comunicação, consumo e trabalho

Abstract

The article aims to discuss communication, consumption, work as a process of mediation of Haitian immigrants in São Paulo and understand how Haitians articulate to overcome devaluations, precariousness and informality, since many of them have qualifications, but Work activities short of their professional training. Based on observation and in-depth interview with Haitians, it is possible to see that they maintain the expectations of access to the world of work and the desire to improve living conditions. For this, they mobilize themselves in a migrant and solidarity network. We show that uses and articulations, through face-to-face communication and digital platforms, help overcome situations of devaluation of the work force, guaranteeing permanence, strengthening struggles and improving living conditions.
