Cet article met en lumière le groupe amérindien Kaliña qui habite à la frontière franco-brésilienne. En combinant des travaux anthropologiques historiques existants avec des nouvelles perspectives ethnographiques de trois femmes vivant dans le nord du Brésil, cet article montre qu’une liaison de multiples facteurs a conduit à la délocalisation de ce groupe Kaliña de la Guyane française au Brésil dans les années 1950. Les discriminations historiques - y compris l’exploitation et l’exotisation des membres des Kaliña dans les « zoos humains » à la fin du XIXe siècle - et une poussée à l’assimilation à la suite de la départementalisation de la Guyane française sont des raisons jusqu’ici inexplorées de cette migration qui a abouti à la démarcation d’un territoire autochtone sur la rive brésilienne du fleuve Oyapock en 1982. En privilégiant des perspectives féminines, ce chapitre met également en évidence la place centrale du genre dans les inégalités enchevêtrées auxquelles les Kaliñas à la frontière franco-brésilienne ont été confrontés dans le passé et dans le présent. |

This article sheds light on the indigenous Kaliña in the French-Brazilian borderland. By combining existing historical anthropological work with new ethnographic perspectives from three Kaliña women living in northern Brazil, this article shows that a web of multiple factors led to this Kaliña group’s relocation from French Guiana to Brazil in the 1950s. Historical discriminations—including the exploitation and exoticization of Kaliña members in ‘human zoos’ in the late 19th century—and a push for assimilation in the aftermath of French Guiana’s ‘départementalisation’ are hitherto underexplored reasons behind this migration, which resulted in the demarcation of an indigenous territory on the Brazilian side of the Oyapock River in 1982. By privileging female perspectives, this chapter also points to the centrality of gender within entangled inequalities which the Kaliña in the French-Brazilian borderland were confronted with in the past and in the present. |
