Description
Résumé:After the Second World War, Costa Rica chose a unique model in the Latin American world, that of the welfare state. This configuration allows the small country a more harmonious economic development, a less tumultuous political life, and socio-ethnic tensions lower than in the rest of Latin America. Without truly being the instigators, the Afro-Caribbeans are really concerned by the political changes. They also obtained the guarantee of equal civil and social rights without undermining their privileged position in the division of labor. This kind of « differencial integration » happened in a singular cultural, economic and political context, that of a national territory deeply divided before the war, more particularly by the existence of an economic enclave covering much of the Caribbean coast. For two decades, the neo-liberal reforms, however, have gradually undermined the Costa Rican Welfare state, illustrating the « vulnerability » that still affects black peoples in America.
