Book Synopsis Sojourners in the Capital of the World by : Maximo G. Martinez
Download or read book Sojourners in the Capital of the World written by Maximo G. Martinez and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history and insider’s account of the Garifuna in New York City from 1943 to the present day. In recent years, Latinos—primarily Central American migrants—crossing the southern border of the United States have dominated the national media, as the legitimacy of their detention and of U.S. immigration policy in general is debated by partisan politicians and pundits. Among these migrants seeking economic opportunities and fleeing violence from gangs and drug traffickers are many Central American Garifuna. This fascinating book is the long-overdue account—written by a Garifuna New Yorker—of the ways that Garifuna immigrants from Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras have organized themselves and become a vibrant presence in New York City, from the time of their first arrivals in the 1940s to the present. The author documents four generations of Garifuna people in New York City who were active in the organizations at the heart of their community. Garifuna organizations have expanded and diversified over time from being primarily concerned with simply providing a space to gather for social events and some self-help groups for seamen (who were the first migrants) to a wide variety of organizations today that range from those focused on culture—music, dance, religion, language, sports, media—to those concentrating on economic development, political engagement and representation, immigration issues, health concerns, and transnational projects related to the situation of Garifuna in their Central American communities. As the Garifuna population grew, their organized entities simultaneously increased. The legacy of the Garifuna ethnic group is one of heroic resilience: They challenged colonial European suppression and grew from an estimated population of 2,000 to a growing 600,000 in the present day. After wars defending their original settlement on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, the remaining Garifuna were rounded up and expelled from the territory to Central America, and from there they eventually immigrated to the United States. In New York City, an estimated 200,000 Garifuna live in the five boroughs, with their largest population in the Bronx. Having overcome numerous challenges, this Black/ Indigenous ethnic group is now known for its significant involvement in both Central American as well as U.S. societies. The Garifuna are integrated into the fabric of New York City as a distinctive Afro-Latinx/African Diaspora ethnic group known for its cultural and political impact. Garifuna organizations are at once concerned with creating alliances with a diversity of many other groups and also focused on dealing with issues specific to the unique culture, history, and situation of the Garifuna. They provide an interesting case study on whether and how Black ethnic groups assimilate with African Americans. And awareness of this group, its culture, and its contribution to American society is essential to understanding a growing segment of the expanding diverse Latino presence in the United States.
Book Synopsis The Black Carib Wars by : Christopher Taylor
Download or read book The Black Carib Wars written by Christopher Taylor and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Black Carib Wars, Christopher Taylor offers the most thoroughly researched history of the struggle of the Garifuna people to preserve their freedom on the island of St. Vincent. Today, thousands of Garifuna people live in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua and the United States, preserving their unique culture and speaking a language that directly descends from that spoken in the Caribbean at the time of Columbus. All trace their origins back to St. Vincent where their ancestors were native Carib Indians and shipwrecked or runaway West African slaves—hence the name by which they were known to French and British colonialists: Black Caribs. In the 1600s they encountered Europeans as adversaries and allies. But from the early 1700s, white people, particularly the French, began to settle on St. Vincent. The treaty of Paris in 1763 handed the island to the British who wanted the Black Caribs' land to grow sugar. Conflict was inevitable, and in a series of bloody wars punctuated by uneasy peace the Black Caribs took on the might of the British Empire. Over decades leaders such as Tourouya, Bigot, and Chatoyer organized the resistance of a society which had no central authority but united against the external threat. Finally, abandoned by their French allies, they were defeated, and the survivors deported to Central America in 1797. The Black Carib Wars draws on extensive research in Britain, France, and St. Vincent to offer a compelling narrative of the formative years of the Garifuna people.
Book Synopsis Among the Garifuna by : Marilyn McKillop Wells
Download or read book Among the Garifuna written by Marilyn McKillop Wells and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I, "The Old Ways," consists of vignettes that introduce the family backstory with dialogue as imagined by Wells based on the family history she was told. We meet the family progenitors, Margaret and Cervantes Diego, during their courtship, experience Margaret's pain as Cervantes takes a second wife, witness the death of Cervantes and ensuing mourning rituals, follow the return of Margaret and the children to their previous home in British Honduras, and observe the emergence of the children's personalities. In Part II, "Living There," Wells continues the story when she arrives in Belize and meets the Diego children, including the major protagonist, Tas. In Tas's household Wells learns about foods and manners and watches family squabbles and reconciliations. In these mini-stories, Wells interweaves cultural information on the Garifuna people with first-person narrative and transcription of their words, assembling these into an enthralling slice of life.
Book Synopsis Black Caribs - Garifuna Saint Vincent' Exiled People by : Tomás Alberto Avila
Download or read book Black Caribs - Garifuna Saint Vincent' Exiled People written by Tomás Alberto Avila and published by . This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins in South America, where people who spoke Arawak-an Amerindian language fashioned a culture based on yuca or cassava farming, hunting and fishing in a dense forest cut by many rivers. By the year 1000 AD some of them had moved up the Orinoco River to the Caribbean Sea and it's islands, where they established a new way of life. Later other people, whom history has called "Caribs," moved into the Caribbean out of the same areas. The Caribs welcomed and protected the Negro refugees, and in time allowed them to marry the Caribs. The Africans then adopted the languages, culture and traditions of the Yellow Island Caribs. The intermarriage brought about a rapid growth of hybrid mixture of African and Yellow Indians Caribs. From this union arose a half-bred race possessing some Caribs and African characteristics to which the name Garifuna or Black Carib was given.
Book Synopsis Insurrectional Resistance of the Garifuna Revolution by : Andoni Castillo Perez
Download or read book Insurrectional Resistance of the Garifuna Revolution written by Andoni Castillo Perez and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, "The Insurrectional Resistance of the Garifuna Revolution" by anthropologist Andoni Castillo Perez, brings other glances in the comparison of our races. As well as new discussions and a paradigm shift about the history of the Garifuna, through bibliographical research in England, France, and consultation of some archive of Saint Vincent and Timbuktu Mali. Also included are archival inquiries from the 16th and 17th centuries of the English and French, a categorization of data was made, allowing the comparison of information found between the chronicles of the British, the French and the African expedition to the Americas.The English and the French had a closer relationship with the Garinagu people during their revolution, where they fought battles, many of which were recorded by the chroniclers of that time and described in this book. Also included are accounts of oral knowledge transmitted from the Baba (grandfather and grandmother) of that generation about their experiences living in Saint Vincent and the cause of their expulsion to Roatan in the year 1797. On the other side, a retrospective analysis was done of the musical philosophy about the spiritual ceremony of the Garifuna religion of DÜGÜ, which relates in song the history and the analysis that becomes evident. This book contributes in presenting the history from within YUORUMEIN'S CHOSEN, their role during the struggles to defend against the invader's aggression, their majestic organizational system, political techniques and strategies, their spiritual strength, the mystery of cultural dynamics, as well as its sophisticated technological tools for navigation, exploration, and commercial exchange with other peoples. The reciprocity in the construction of relationships and their spiritual conception are some of the feats that we echoed in our book. This is information that has not been revealed to the Garifuna society would have never been imagined, the extraordinary, fascinating and charged with energy and insurrectional resistance, which was the Garinagu. Given this, it is called to rewrite and relearn about it, it is an invitation for reflection and the criticism of the history that has been written up until now.

Book Synopsis Black and Indigenous by : Mark David Anderson
Download or read book Black and Indigenous written by Mark David Anderson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garifuna live in Central America, primarily Honduras, and the United States. Identified as Black by others and by themselves, they also claim indigenous status and rights in Latin America. Examining this set of paradoxes, Mark Anderson shows how, on the one hand, Garifuna embrace discourses of tradition, roots, and a paradigm of ethnic political struggle. On the other hand, Garifuna often affirm blackness through assertions of African roots and affiliations with Blacks elsewhere, drawing particularly on popular images of U.S. blackness embodied by hip-hop music and culture. Black and Indigenous explores the politics of race and culture among Garifuna in Honduras as a window into the active relations among multiculturalism, consumption, and neoliberalism in the Americas. Based on ethnographic work, Anderson questions perspectives that view indigeneity and blackness, nativist attachments and diasporic affiliations, as mutually exclusive paradigms of representation, being, and belonging. As Anderson reveals, within contemporary struggles of race, ethnicity, and culture, indigeneity serves as a normative model for collective rights, while blackness confers a status of subaltern cosmopolitanism. Indigeneity and blackness, he concludes, operate as unstable, often ambivalent, and sometimes overlapping modes through which people both represent themselves and negotiate oppression.
