In the second nineteenth century, nearly 40,000 Indians migrated to Guadeloupe as part of a new form of exploitation: indentureship. Overcoming the crossing of Kala Pani, "the curse of black waters," they nevertheless overcame the horrors of the colonial system by preserving their cultural traditions as best as possible. An unprecedented encounter with this singular community that has transformed the Guadeloupean Creolity for 150 years. 52 minutes. 2010 16:00—"THE LAST WHITE MATIGNON" The "Blancs-Matignon" are the descendants of those settlers who arrived in Guadeloupe at the end of the 17th century, in the wake of Léonard Matignon, known as "la Creuse", who then established themselves in the north-east of the island of Grande-Terre after the first abolition of slavery in 1794. It was then the «terror» among recalcitrant white settlers, who fled towards the interior, especially at Grands-Fonds, in the region of Moule, to the north of the Guadeloupean archipelago. 'Matignon' has since become a generic term for the population of this enclave. 52 minutes. 2022 Informations 5€
