The Garifuna are a Central American, Afro-Indigenous people
descended from shipwrecked West Africans and local Indigenous
groups on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent. For over two
centuries, the Garifuna have experienced oppression, exile, and
continued diaspora that has stretched their communities to
Honduras, Belize, and beyond. However, little has been written
about the experiences of the Garifuna in Nicaragua, a community of
about 5,000 who live primarily on the Caribbean coast of the
country. In Surviving the Americas, Serena Cosgrove, Jose Idiaquez,
Leonard Joseph Bent, and Andrew Gorvetzian shed light on what it
means to be Garifuna today, particularly in Nicaragua. Their
research includes over nine months of fieldwork in Garifuna
communities in the Pearl Lagoon on the southern Caribbean coast of
Nicaragua and in New York City. The resulting ethnography
illustrates the unique social issues of the Nicaraguan Garifuna and
how their culture, traditions, and reverence for their ancestors
continues to persist.
