description	Caribbean migrations have been widely documented, specially from demographic and economic views that emphasize the negative aspects of these processes on individuals and societies. However, new perspectives about migrations have spread, specially the migratory cultures concept. The main idea is that, more than an economical phenomena, linked to overpopulation and unemployment, Caribbean mobility can be understood as a cultural tradition that has become a way of life, legitimized through several migrants generations, allowing the survival of islands’ societies. This way, the concept assumes the permanent mobility of people through return migrations, used as basic economic strategies, as well as mechanisms that facilitate and perpetuate this practice, such as informal and extended social networks and flexible social and domestic structures. This would be the case of Old Providence and Santa Catalina islanders in the English – speaking territory on the Colombian Caribbean, who have a long history of migrations that persist until today and that constitute a way of life. This document is the result of researches developed on the islands and with migrants in the city of Bogota between 2004 and 2011. On these studies, different subjects were aborded, including the role of migrations on islanders’ life, their memories and their perception about them.

Sin embargo, desde las ciencias humanas se ha difundido el concepto de culturas migratorias para analizarlas. El eje central es que, más allá de un fenómeno de tipo económico, ligado a superpoblación y desempleo, la movilidad caribeña puede entenderse como una tradición cultural que se ha convertido en un modo de vida legitimado por generaciones de migrantes, permitiendo la viabilidad de estas sociedades. Este concepto supone la movilidad constante a manera de migraciones temporales utilizadas como estrategias económicas básicas, así como mecanismos socioculturales que facilitan y perpetúan esta práctica. Este seria el caso de los habitantes de Providencia y Santa Catalina, territorio de habla inglesa en el Caribe colombiano, quienes poseen una larga historia de migraciones, que continúan hasta hoy y que constituyen una forma de vida. Este documento resulta de investigaciones realizadas tanto en las islas como con migrantes en Bogotá, entre 2004 y 2011, en las cuales se abordaron diversos temas, incluyendo el papel de las migraciones en la vida de estos isleños, las memorias y las percepciones sobre las mismas. Abstract (200 words): Caribbean migrations have been widely documented, specially from demographic and economic views that emphasize the negative aspects of these processes on individuals and societies. However, new perspectives about migrations have spread, specially the migratory cultures concept. The main idea is that, more than an economical phenomena, linked to overpopulation and unemployment, Caribbean mobility can be understood as a cultural tradition that has become a way of life, legitimized through several migrants generations, allowing the survival of islands’ societies. This way, the concept assumes the permanent mobility of people through return migrations, used as basic economic strategies, as well as mechanisms that facilitate and perpetuate this practice, such as informal and extended social networks and flexible social and domestic structures. This would be the case of Old Providence and Santa Catalina islanders, an English – speaking territory on the Colombian Caribbean, who have a long history of migrations, that persist until today and that constitute a way of life. This document results of researches developed on the islands and with migrants in the city of Bogota, between 2004 and 2011. On these studies, different subjects were treated, including the role of migrations on islanders’ life, their memories and their perception of them.
