Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2021;45:e46. https://doi.org/10.26633/RPSP.2021.46 20 21 22 23 ABSTRACT Hospitals in the French Territories in the Americas (FTA) work according to international and French stan- 24 dards. This paper aims to describe different aspects of critical care in the FTA. For this, we reviewed official 25 information about population size and intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity in the FTA and literature on FTA ICU specificities. Persons living in or visiting the FTA are exposed to specific risks, mainly severe road traffic 26 injuries, envenoming, stab or ballistic wounds, and emergent tropical infectious diseases. These diseases may 27 require specific knowledge and critical care management. However, there are not enough ICU beds in the FTA. 28 Indeed, there are 7.2 ICU beds/100 000 population in Guadeloupe, 7.2 in Martinique, and 4.5 in French Gui- 29 ana. In addition, seriously ill patients in remote areas regularly have to be transferred, most often by helicopter, 30 resulting in a delay in admission to intensive care.

  • Indian Heritage in the French Creole-Speaking Caribbean: a Reference to the Madras Material
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 5; March 2014 Indian Heritage in the French Creole-Speaking Caribbean: A Reference to the Madras Material Hélène Zamor Lecturer Department of Languages, Linguistics and Literature Cave Hill Campus University of the West Indies in Barbados Abstract Madras appeared in both Guadeloupe and Martinique during colonization. This southern Indian material has not only been used for the national costume but also for domestic purposes and decoration. It is common to see tablecloths and bags made of madras. A house may be decorated with Madras curtains, lamps or dolls. Madras as a symbol for Creole identity has spread to the commercial sectors. Madras colours have been reproduced in advertisements, websites as well as on locally made products such as yogurts or rum. Keywords: Madras, chemise-jupe, douillette, gwan wòb’, French Creole identity Introduction The madras material reached the French Caribbean shores during the seventeenth century. The French women who settled in Guadeloupe and Martinique used madras as a headpiece. In the early twentieth century, most Guadeloupian and Martiniquan women wore a madras headpiece with their Gwan wòb1 and chemise-jupe.2In recent times, Madras has been used for decoration, craft and advertisement. When it comes to gender and age, madras is not only associated with women pertaining to a particular age bracket. In modern times, children and men also wear madras pants and shirts. The name madras has also been given to a drink in Guadeloupe. The purpose of this article is to examine how the city of Madras and the Madrasi immigrants have made a contribution to the French Caribbean heritage.

McCLOY THE NEGRO IN FRANCE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY PRESS Copyright© 1961 by the University of Kentucky Press Printed in the United States of America by the Division of Printing, University of Kentucky Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6554 FOREWORD THE PURPOSE of this study is to present a history of the Negro who has come to France, the reasons for his coming, the record of his stay, and the reactions of the French to his presence. It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion­ ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

The region has a rich biodiversity and a strategic location. Banana and sugar cane cultivation is still key to the economy. ● Nevertheless high unemployment, particularly for young people and early school leaving, hampers regional development. Basse-Terre ● Significant exposure to natural hazards, additional transport costs and low integration in its regional space are also important challenges to overcome. WHAT WILL THE NEW STRATEGY BRING TO GUADELOUPE? By encouraging the outermost regions to capitalise on their unique assets, the strategy will help them create new opportunities for their inhabitants, boost innovation in sectors like agriculture, fisheries or tourism, while deepening thecooperation with neighbour countries. For the Guadeloupe, the strategy could help support in particular: ✓ A solid blue economy sector, by encouraging the development of marine renewable energy, aquaculture and blue biotechnologies and local fisheries ✓ The region’s interests taken into account upstream when negotiating trade agreements involving specific local products (such as banana and sugar) ✓ Enhanced mobility, employability and new skills for young people by financially helping

Yet, with the exception of French Guiana, the opposite is true: Martinique, Guadeloupe and Réunion are among the French départements most affected by demographic ageing. As explained here by Didier Breton, Stéphanie Condon, Franck Temporal and Claude-Valentin Marie, head of an INSEE-INED sociodemographic survey in the DOMs, this ageing process will be very rapid, and represents a key challenge for these départements, alongside that of migration. he population of the four French overseas Figure 1 - Old-age dependency ratio* in the DOMs Tdépartements (DOMs) is younger than that of the and in metropolitan France, 1990 and 2030 mainland.
