Abstract
This article studies the associative movement of people with a motor disability in Guadeloupe (FWI), which has contributed to the development of the care activities on the island. The first self-regulated associations, initiated at the beginning of the 1980s, were to influence the structuration of the new social and medico-social sector. From the analysis of the main actors’ interviews and archival materials, we can notice a double identity claim: a disabled people identity and a Guadelupian identity. This double identity claim will influence the care activities. While at first, the adjustment with the mainland France is looked for, the actors also provide an anti-authority speech, which puts forward Guadelupian specificities about the care activities.
