Synopsis of "Reshipment"
The voices of prominent historians join the memories of Haitians and their descendants in Cuba to
understand a chapter of the complex economic and social history of the Caribbean: the presence in
the Island of Cuba of thousands of West Indian laborers, especially from Haiti. That army of black
workers who fertilized with their sweat the fields of Cuba from the beginning of the twentieth cen-
tury. For many, it was a great bargain of cheap labor. For others, the realization of the dream of
every immigrant: make money and return home. Since then, despite the discrimination suffered by
the Haitians, the Creole language, voodoo and other musical and dance traditions remain in the
cultural landscape of Cuba. Still, remember that older family members with years of stay in Cuba
were victims of a reshipment as if they were damaged goods, a forced repatriation to Haiti when
they were no longer needed in the sugar cane fields or coffee plantations. Therefore it is said that
life of Haitians in Cuba has
moved between dreams and setbacks. So, we have this fitting reminder of a virtually forgotten
chapter in our history. It is a tribute to the protagonists, the unsung anonymous heroes who wove
an important passage between two peoples in the Caribbean: Cuba and Haiti.

Length: 58 min.

Sinopsis de "Reembarque"

Las voces de prestigiosos historiadores se unen a las memorias de haitianos y sus descendientes en Cuba, para acercarnos a un capítulo relaciona-
do con la compleja historia económica y social del Caribe: la presencia en La Isla de Cuba de miles de braceros antillanos, especialmente de Haití.
Aquel ejército de trabajadores negros que abonaron con su sudor los campos de Cuba desde los inicios del siglo XX. Para muchos, fue un gran ne-
gocio de mano de obra barata. Para otros, la realización del sueño de todo emigrante: hacer dinero y regresar a la patria. Desde entonces, a pesar
de las discriminaciones que sufrieron los haitianos, la lengua creole, el vodú y otras tradiciones musicales y danzarias, permanecen en el panora-
ma cultural de Cuba. Todavía, los más viejos recuerdan que sus familiares, con años de estancia en La Isla, fueron víctimas del reembarque, de la
repatriación forzosa, cuando no los necesitaban en los cañaverales o los campos de café. Por eso se dice que la vida del haitiano en Cuba se ha
movido entre sueños y golpes. Por eso este merecido recordatorio de un capítulo de nuestra historia prácticamente olvidado. Un homenaje a los
verdaderos protagonistas, a los héroes anónimos que tejieron un importante pasaje entre dos pueblos del Caribe: Cuba y Haití.

Gloria Rolando

I was born in Havana, Cuba, on April 4, 1953. I attended and completed my elementary studies at
different schools in that city. I attended high school at the "Conservatorio Provincial de Música
Amadeo Roldán" (Provincial Conservatory "Amadeo Roldan"), where I studied piano, music theo-
ry, harmony, music history, music composition, etc.

At the age of eighteen, I obtained my pre-university diploma with a major in Science and Litera-
ture and a minor in Music.

I immediately began intensive studies of the Humanities. In 1976, I completed my studies of Art
History at the University of Havana and began working at "ICAIC" (the Cuban Institute of Art and
Film Industry).

Post Graduate Studies:

1. Caribbean Literature (University of Havana). Final paper presented at the Scientific Conference of Social Sciences, held in February, 1987,
"Emigration, a Recurring Theme in Caribbean Literature".

2. "Literature and Identity in the Caribbean" (Seminar sponsored by "Casa de las Americas"). Course work and paper entitled "Slavery", 1988.
