| Summary |
In 1962, in the French Antilles, the people descending from the slave trade were still facing serious poverty. They started to demand a better situation. And at the same time, the French metropolis was lacking unqualified working force ... The "Bumidom " was created to solve both problems. For 20 years, this organism encouraged the young French Antilles people to come to the continent. It promised them a better future thanks to jobs like postman, cleaning lady, subway worker, etc. It also promised them a boat ticket, but a one-way ticket. 1962 |

Les guerres de décolonisation se terminent. Dans les Antilles françaises, les populations issues de la traite d'esclaves, toujours livrées à la plus grande pauvreté, commencent à revendiquer une situation meilleure. Et la métropole manque de main d'œuvre non qualifiée ... Le Bumidom est créé pour résoudre ces deux problèmes: pendant vingt ans, cet organisme va pousser les jeunes Antillais à venir travailler sur le continent, leur promettant un avenir radieux, de postier, de femme de ménage, d'agent RATP, et un billet de bateau ... Un aller simple. L'avenir est ailleurs retrace l'histoire de cette "nouvelle traite" à travers les témoignages de ceux qui l'ont combattue, et de ceux qui sont partis, de ces familles déracinées qui ont difficilement tenté de reconstruire leur identité de "Français noirs." |
