Overview

Fidida, Fidida (This and That): Growing Up Garifuna and Belizean is a poetic tribute to the resilience, beauty, and cultural richness of the Garifuna people. Harriet Arzu Scarborough, a native of Barranco, Belize, and a longtime resident of Tucson, Arizona, shares forty-five poems that journey from ancestral origins to modern life, capturing the spirit of a people often overlooked in history books. Organized into five thematic sections, this collection offers insights into Garifuna identity, daily life, love, migration, and memory. With accessible language and heartfelt reflection, Scarborough invites both Garifuna youth and curious readers worldwide to explore a culture shaped by survival, strength, and deep connection to land and heritage. For those unfamiliar with the Garinagu, this book offers a rare, illuminating entry point. For those who carry the culture in their blood, it is a mirror-one that honors their past and speaks to their future with warmth, honesty, and grace.
