Lebanese Guadeloupeans (French: Guadeloupéens libanais; Arabic: الجوادلوبيون اللبنانيون) are Guadeloupeans and citizens of Lebanese origin or descent. Guadeloupeans Arabs are mainly from Lebanon and Syria.[6][7] Guadeloupe has the largest Lebanese and Syrian population in French Antilles.
History
From the 1870s onwards, a new wave of emigration joined the various groups of people who made up the population of the French Antilles and French Guiana. This migration originated in the Near East and was a direct consequence of religious conflicts, the policies of the Turkish authorities, and difficulties related to the economy and population growth.[8]
Economics
The Lebanese community has been able to integrate since its arrival...It weighs heavily on the Guadeloupean economy...In a century and a half, its men and women have written a new history after fleeing Ottoman persecution and economic problems.[9]
