Book excerpt: This book directly engages vital social justice issues of diaspora, exclusion, and resilience through an ethnographic study with the Garifuna, a Central American afro-indigenous group with roots in western Africa and the Caribbean. Today, the Garifuna are concentrated on the Caribbean coast of Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Belize, and about 50,000 Garifuna live in the US. The primary focus is the resilience of Garifuna communities on the southeastern Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, through an in-depth study of Garifuna commitment to community and place, bolstered by interviews with recent Garifuna migrants to the U.S. who keep their culture alive in the Bronx and elsewhere through language, food, annual trips home, and spiritual connection with their ancestors.
