Keywords:
Migratory policies, discrimination, family, resilience, integrationAbstract
The migration to the United States of America and the subsequent return to places of origin seem to be a practice consolidated among the Garinagu. A process that has been modeled in accordance with the different moments that they went through in life , and that the scientific literature has recorded in various imprints. Regarding the condition of these contributions, the identification of indicators from an initial query; permanence, change or loss of the Garifuna culture, we put in context ethnographic data correlated with circular or pendular migration. This concomitant process of one place and another is subject to valuation from the religiosity as a space that agglutinates and allows ethnicity and, in consonance to this, gives tools for social control. It is in the identification of pendular relationships, of one place and another; And in the prominent role of religiosity where its location is this construct, which manifests itself in the identity that this group expresses wherever it is located. The methodological effort in this paper is based on a longitudinal study and a view that allows the participation in events beyond the anthropological practice, as an exercise of life, outside the traditional methodological jurisdiction.
