Abstract:	This paper explores how collective action and memory are constructed through the objective and subjective experiences of racism by second-generation Haitian youths in Quebec. It examines the influence of struggle, political currents and American “heroes” on the increasingly diasporic representations that these young people make of their history, their identity and their place in Quebec society. To “explain” their immediate social experience, they selectively appropriate fragments of history and memory taken from different cultural groups. This paper presents data from a sociological intervention carried out with a group of youths from Montreal-North, as well as certain elements taken from individual interviews with young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-nine.
