Book Synopsis Belize and Its Identity by : Godfrey Mwakikagile
Download or read book Belize and Its Identity written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by New Africa Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is about Belize from a historical and contemporary perspective. Once known as British Honduras, Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America. And it's only one of two such countries in Latin America. The other one is Guyana in South America which was also once ruled by Britain. The author looks at the different racial and ethno-cultural groups which collectively constitute Belize, a country founded by British settlers and African slaves more than 300 years ago. The work is a general introduction to Belize. It's also about life in Belize and how the different groups interact with each other in this multicultural society. He examines Belize's multicultural character and identity and how members of different groups interact at different levels of national life - as individuals, as an integral part of an ethnic or cultural group, and as an integral part of the nation. How important is group identity? Is Belize a melting pot? Has it ever tried to be one if it's not one already? Are ethnic relations good or bad? How do immigrants fit in? Are there "true" Belizeans? Who is a native Belizean and who is not? How have competing claims to native status affected ethnic and racial relations? How many ethnic and racial groups are in Belize? Are there ethnic enclaves in Belize? Is Belize also an Afro-Caribbean nation although it's in Central America? Is it more black than Spanish? What is the dominant culture in Belize and why? Those are some of the subjects addressed in the book. Members of the general public including those going to Belize may find this work to be useful. It may also help some students learn a few things about the country.
Book Synopsis Belize and Its People by : Godfrey Mwakikagile
Download or read book Belize and Its People written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by Continental Press. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author looks at Belize and its people to provide a general picture of the country and its ethnic diversity and how different ethnic groups interact as members of a multicultural society. Some of the main subjects covered include group identity - Creole, Mestizo, Garifuna and so on - and the role it plays in determining relations between members of different ethno-cultural groups in a country which stands out probably as the most ethnically diverse in Central America. The work is also a general introduction to Belize from a historical and geographical standpoint and has previously been published under another title, "Belize and Its Identity: A Multicultural Perspective." Although it's written for the general public, some students and scholars may find it to be useful in different areas of study. It's well-documented with scholarly references and citations from many sources which go beyond the interest of the general reader and can even be used as a college text on Belize, providing useful insights into the complexities of a multicultural society.

Book Synopsis From Many Cultures, One Nation by : Sarah Woodbury
Download or read book From Many Cultures, One Nation written by Sarah Woodbury and published by The Morgan-Stanwood Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children possess national and ethnic identity, whether or not we want them to, and often that identity includes elements of their own devising. Since independence, the Belizean government has sought to promote a national Belizean identity by recognizing the cultures of its multiple ethnic groups, and including all these groups in its social studies curriculum. Thus, in Belize, ethnicity and nationalism are inextricably intertwined. In my research in Punta Gorda, Belize in 1993-94, I dealt directly with schools and children in an attempt to understand how ethnic and nationalist identities are taught and then incorporated by children in practice. This book relates those findings. Keywords: Belize, Children's studies, Children, ethnicity, nationalism, ethnic studies, Central America, Caribbean, Creole, anthropology, education, schools
