Questão Social & Qualidade de Vida: estudo de caso dos imigrantes haitianos em Manaus

Abstract

This article discusses the living conditions of Haitian immigrants in the city of Manaus, in 2019, based on the studies carried out in the dissertation “Living Conditions of Haitian Immigrants in the Reception Center for Pastoral Care of Migrants, Manaus / Am” and in the project Analisis Multidimensional de las Interacciones Universidad-Sociedad en el Estado del Amazonas, by researchers from Grupo Interacao, from Red Multiben, from the Iberoamerican Science and Technology for Development Program - CYTED. The methodological procedures, in a critical dialectical approach based on the Interaction Methodology, covered bibliographic, documentary and field research with techniques and instruments of a participatory character. The results summarize the theoretical and practical debates on how the social issue in its economic expressions (impoverishment, unemployment), political (limits to participation), social (social exclusion, subordinate relationships), environmental (risks and vulnerability to natural disasters) and cultural (devaluation of their knowledge and practices) affect the quality of life of Haitian immigrants.
