| Resumo: | Among the new migratory flows that arrive in Brazil, the case of the Haitian diaspora has been outstanding in the recent years. The current Brazilian crisis, characterized by the economic slowdown and worse performance of GDP since 1990, has both direct and indirect impacts on the projects of this immigrant population. The text examines part of the results of the research being carried out by the Laboratory of Studies on International Migration (LAEMI) of the University of Brasília (UnB) with support of the Research Support Foundation of the Federal District (FAP-DF) with the Federal University of Paraná. We analyze how this crisis affects Haitian immigrants, verifying the role and importance of migration networks and capitals in their responses to the current scenario of economic crisis in Brazil, specifically in the city of Curitiba - PR. In conclusion, it is stated that the strategies of the migrants seem to be structured not from the vulgar understanding of "crisis", but rather on the increasingly complex fabric of networks and capitals acquired in migratory trajectories. |
