Brazilian Amazonia, new migratory interface between Caribbean World and South America?

Haitian migrations in French Guiana, which usually transit by Suriname, yet seem to transit by the Brazilian Amazonia. This country became the entrance of an important flow of Haitian immigrants, which indeed are going to the metropolis of São Paulo, new Eldorado for wretched Caribbean populations. Now joined by other flows arriving from Africa and even Asia, these migrations are showing the new combination of the traditional organization of the world, as well as the new importance of Brazil as a regional power in the American world. Amazonia is yet becoming a new crossroad facilitating a better integration of the Americas, including by the migrations.
