From the refuge to the Garifuna people of Barranco, Belize: Views and reflections from Livingston to the study of Joseph Palacio, Carlson J. Tuttle and Judith R. Lumb
Keywords:
Local history, regional and international relations, cadastre, kinshipAbstract
The dynamics of dispersion and settlement that the Garinagu have carried out along the Central American Caribbean coast is one of the elements that develops this reflection in light of the work that we review on the town of Barranco. We see in the study by Palacio and colleagues an unprecedented proposal on the family and cadastral history of said settlement, to a large extent also shared with its neighborhoods, at levels ranging from local, regional and transnational. Given the characteristic of said community with bi-locality and the predominant role of uxorilocal residence, this essay develops some notes in its capacity as concomitant —from the port of Livingston— with the family lines and shared history that extends to Punta Gorda.
