Abstract

This article analyses a corpus of writings about travels published since 1990 by authors from the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. The analysis is organized around three fundamental axes according to the type of displacement described: the migratory journey to the metropolis, the journey of Afro-descendant memory to Africa and the return journey or visit to the Caribbean. In theoretical terms, the proposal dialogues with diaspora con-ceptualizations and postcolonial criticism. The article proposes that the experience and reflection on the travel experience plays a central role in the articulation of discourses and imaginaries and the configuration of a diasporic space of enunciation. In this space, Caribbean migrant communities recover memories, recognize affiliations, articulate demands and elaborate alternative identity projects. © 2025, Universidad de los Andes, Colombia.
