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.
Download or read book The Black Carib Wars written by Chris Taylor and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Black Carib Wars, author Christopher Taylor offers the fullest, most thoroughly researched history of the Garifuna people of St. Vincent, and their uneasy conflicts and alliances with Great Britain and France. The Garifuna--whose descendants were native Carib Indians, Arawaks and West African slaves brought to the Caribbean--were free citizens of St. Vincent. Beginning in the mid-1700s, they clashed with a number of colonial powers who claimed ownership of the island and its people. Upon the Garifuna's eventual defeat by the British in 1796, the people were dispersed to Central America. Today, roughly 600,000 descendants of the Garifuna live in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Nicaragua, the United States, and Canada. The Garifuna--called "Black Caribs" by the British to distinguish them from other groups of unintegrated Caribs--speak a language and live a culture that directly descends from natives of the Caribbean at the time of Columbus. Thus, the Garifuna heritage is one of the oldest and strongest links historians have to the region before European colonialism. The French, the first white people to live on St Vincent, attempted to subdue the Black Caribs but eventually developed an alliance with them. When the Treaty of Paris ostensibly handed St. Vincent to the British crown in 1763, the British clashed with the Black Caribs but, like the French, eventually formed another treaty. This cycle of attempted colonialism of St. Vincent by France and England alternately would continue for three decades. After repeated conflict and desperate measures by the European powers, the Garifuna were forced to surrender. In March 1797 the last survivors were loaded on to British ships and deported to the island of Roatán hundreds of miles away in the bay of Honduras. A little over 2,000 men, women and children were all that were left--perhaps a fifth of the Black Carib population of just two years earlier. It was a cataclysm. But the Black Caribs--the Garifuna in their own language--survived and their descendants number in the hundreds of thousands.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the other side of the vilified and untold story of the Garinagu people and highlights the peculiarity of its historical codes.The author poses a problem of analysis for the nature of colonial ideas that were founded on the project of constructing visions and realities about the world and the historical, social, political and economic decisions and cultural changes.Starting from the idea that the construction of historical reality, as well as the hierarchies of peoples formed during several centuries of colonial expansion, was significantly transformed through a transition from modern colonialism to global colonialism, a process that certainly generated in the population, think from the platforms of colonial ideas.It also sets out the colonial view of the world which obeys an anthropological and axiological epistemological conception to defining the reality imposed on others so called inferiors. That is to say to undertake within it a process of unmarking the logics of the idea of colonialism that has been prevented by not saying the hidden existence of multiple forms of knowledge.At first moment, anthropologist Castillo Perez made a retrospective and anthropological analysis of the various theses of the origin of the Garinagu people, their revolutionary process, resistance and their anti-colonialist journey on the island of Saint Vincent.The colonial archives, recorded memory of the revolution and the resistance of the Garinagu people on the island of Saint Vincent, is why this work has been framed in the formulation of questions to search and consult unpublished archives, including newspapers of the chroniclers related to the subject of colonization, the slave trade, as well as the political decisions implanted by the British, Spanish and French empires during the conquest of the Caribbean between the 16th and 18th centuries.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.
