Abstract

The article explores the Garifuna people's history, culture, and ongoing struggle against land dispossession and marginalization. It states that originating from a mix of African and Caribbean Indian ancestry on Saint Vincent Island, the Garifuna have maintained a unique cultural identity despite centuries of resistance and forced migration to Central America. It mentions that their cultural practices are celebrated, yet their fight for land rights and recognition continues.
