Synopsis

Aside from Cuban immigration, the other immigration from the Carabean to Florida comes from Haiti. In Miami, it settled in an area called "Little Haiti", with its stores, schools, customs, churches, with the vaudou cult or catholism. A massive migration took place after the 1991 coup which overthrew President Aristide, elected by universal sufferage. The problem for Haitians now is not so much to migrate but to escape the totalitary regime in place.
