Gérard Bulin-Xavier, a sociologist and anthropologist, has urged Guadeloupeans to create a cultural resistance movement centered on the country's core values in response to rising violence. In an op-ed published by CCN - Caraib Creole News, he points to a growing wave of systemic violence affecting several Caribbean nations, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Kitts, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. He argues that this violence is not only linked to drug trafficking but also to a broader loss of meaning, the collapse of shared values, and a new form of anomie—a term that refers to the breakdown of social norms, leading to distrust and unrest. Bulin-Xavier notes that Guadeloupe should have the social, psychosocial, cultural, economic, and identity resources to resist this wave of violence. However, he questions why the island continues to face a spiral of violence and other disturbances. He attributes this to a failure to fully embrace Guadeloupe's powerful values, such as solidarity, humanity, resistance, resilience, and authenticity, which have historically defined the region. The op-ed emphasizes the need for a collective commitment to reject harmful influences like colonial and post-colonial residues, consumerism, and individualism, which can lead to alienation. Bulin-Xavier calls for a unified cultural resistance front that includes all sectors of Guadeloupean society—politicians, social actors, retirees, youth, intellectuals, and the general public—to say No to various forms of violence, such as road crime, and to protect the younger generation from the challenges of their time. Bulin-Xavier highlights the importance of remembering Guadeloupe's identity as a land of solidarity, creativity, and love. He urges all Guadeloupeans to participate in this cultural, social, and economic resistance as a moral duty, emphasizing that the well-being of the people must come first. By drawing on their shared values and collective strength, he believes Guadeloupe can transform itself and overcome the current crisis.
