This article examines the Garifuna ethnic traits that contribute to the process of social cultural creation, which are possible to analyze from certain levels of registration of social imaginaries. In an attempt to collaborate in the elaboration of a Garifuna identity list, our main objective in this work is to address some fundamental dimensions of ethnic collectivities, in order to highlight them: a name, a common myth of ancestry, a common history, a shared culture, an association with a territory and a political movement to defend one's own identity. To fulfill this purpose, we essentially follow the guidelines of Anthony Smith (1987) and his collaborators. The work bases mainly on the deep founding myths as a way of studying Social Imaginaries, as well as some of the productions relative to the group. ; Este artículo examina los rasgos étnicos garífunas que contribuyen en el proceso de creación social cultural, los cuales pueden ser analizados a partir de ciertos niveles de registro de los imaginarios sociales.

Over more than a 200 year period, the Garifuna (Black Caribs) have become increasingly dependent upon migratory wage labor. Lately this has involved women as well as men, and a primary destination of this movement has been the United States. This article describes the process and explores the implications of this new phase for the maintenance of traditional sociocultural forms, both at home and in New York City.
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
"Among the Garifuna is the first ethnographic narrative of a Garifuna family. The Garifuna are descendants of the "Black Carib," whom the British deposited on Roatan Island in 1797 and who settled along the Caribbean coast from Belize City to Nicaragua. In 1980, medical anthropologist Marilyn McKillop Wells found herself embarking on an "improbable journey" when she was invited to the area to do fieldwork with the added challenge of revealing the "real" Garifuna. Upon her arrival on the island, Wells was warmly embraced by a local family, the Diegos, and set to work recording life events and indigenous perspectives on polygyny, Afro-indigenous identity, ancestor-worshiping religion, and more. The result, as represented in Among the Garifuna, is a lovingly intimate, earthy, human drama. The family narrative is organized chronologically. 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. Part III, "The Ancestor Party," takes the reader through a fascinating postmortem ritual that is enacted to facilitate the journey of the spirits of the honored ancestors to the supreme supernatural. Among the Garifuna contributes to the literary genres of narrative anthropology and feminist ethnography in the tradition of Zora Neal Hurston and other women writing culture in a personal way. Wells's portrait of this Garifuna family will be of interest to anthropologists, Caribbeanists, Latin Americanists, students, and general readers alike. "--
The Garifuna people today live all along the Caribbean littoral of Central America, from Belize, through Guatemala and Honduras down to Nicaragua, and also in some of the biggest cities of the United States. For more than two hundred years they have preserved their unique culture and language--the direct descendant of that spoken in the islands at the time of Columbus. All of them, however, trace their origin back to the island of St. Vincent--Youroumaÿn in their own language--where shipwrec

On the Honduran North Coast, the Afro-indigenous Garifuna struggle to maintain access to and control of their ancestral lands. Their concerns are due in part to the Honduran state's long-standing goal of modernizing the North Coast and providing an attractive site for foreign investment in land and tourism. The state's commitment to improving the country's development profile by opening coastal land ownership to foreigners often overlooks international and constitutional recognition of communal forms of land tenure. Ethnographic participant observation in the Garifuna community of Tornabé, a fishing and farming village in the Tela Bay region, supplemented by semistructured interviews, historical data collection, discourse analysis, and research on agrarian and environmental policy, suggests that Garifuna displacement is a product of the state's development imaginaries, which racialize the Garifuna as backward and consider their blackness redeemable only by their labor. En la costa norte de Honduras, los garífunas afro-indígenas luchan por mantener el acceso a y control de sus tierras ancestrales. Sus preocupaciones se deben en parte a la meta de largo plazo del estado hondureño por modernizar la costa norte y hacerla atractiva a la inversión extranjera en tierras y turismo. El compromiso del estado por mejorar el perfil de desarrollo del país accediendo a que exista propiedad extranjera en la región costeña a menudo ignora el reconocimiento constitucional e internacional de formas comunales de tenencia de la tierra. Observación etnográfica participante en la comunidad garífuna de Tornabé, una aldea de pescadores y agricultores en la región de Bahía de Tela, complementada con entrevistas semi-estructuradas, recopilación de datos históricos, análisis del discurso e investigación sobre política agraria y ambiental, sugiere que el desplazamiento forzado garífuna es un producto de imaginarios de desarrollo estatales que los racializan como retrógradas y consideran que su negrura sólo es redimible a través de su trabajo.
This paper reports on the gendered impacts of Honduras' neoliberal agrarian legislation within the context of tourism development. It draws on ethnographic research with the Afro-indigenous Garifuna to demonstrate how women have been most affected by land privatization on the north coast of Honduras. Garifuna communities are matrifocal and land had historically been passed through matrilineal lines. As the coastal land market expands, Garifuna women have lost their territorial control. The paper also treats Garifuna women's activism as they resist coastal development strategies and shifts in landholding. While women have been key figures in the Garifuna movement to title and reclaim lost ancestral land, the movement as a whole has yet to make explicit the gendered dimensions of the land struggle. The neglect may be attributed to the activists' adoption of an indigenous rights discourse.

Resumen. A partir de 1797 los garífuna protagonizan su dispersión a lo largo de la costa del golfo de Honduras y gracias a su habilidad para diversos trabajos pasan a ser claves en el desarrollo de la misma. Los diversos eventos que protagonizan y el dominio que ejercen sobre la costa llevan a conferir un sentido de territorialidad más allá de los estados nacionales a los que se adscriben los poblados. El papel de la memoria social de los garínagu, expreso en los relatos, en la representación de la llegada de los fundadores del asentamiento y en el culto a los ancestros —que incluye las líneas familiares— asigna roles espirituales a los fundadores y asegura la permanencia de datos que permiten resignificar un espacio a pesar de las fronteras políticas impuestas. Abstrac. Since 1797, the garifuna star dispersion along the Gulf Coast of Honduras and thanks to their ability for different jobs become key in developing it. The various events which stars and their hold on the coast have to give a sense of territory beyond the nation states that belong to the villages. The role of social memory of the garínagu, expressed in the stories, in the representation of the arrival of the founders of the settlement and ancestor worship, which includes family lines-spiritual roles assigned to the foun-ders and ensures remained data that allow re-signify a space in spite of imposed political boundaries.
