After completing her six-year contract, Yacine Biram boarded the Lawrence for return across the Atlantic. She was among a very small share of African contract workers in Guiana who were able to return: research estimates that 135 of 1,826 African immigrants, or 7.4%, did so. Her documented return was exceptional and gives an African woman’s life course visibility in an archive dominated by official labor categories.
