Reviews

This is an excellent account of the history of Garifuna migration to New York City and especially their political and civic engagement in the city as they navigate their complex relationships with other Latinx and Black immigrant groups, African-Americans, and US structures of discrimination and opportunity. It is very thoroughly researched based on an extensive review of the literature, interviews with key Garifuna community leaders, participant observation in both NYC and Central America, and archival sources collected from Garifuna immigrants. It is a very useful compendium of information for anyone interested in knowing the key events, people, and organizations within the Garifuna diaspora.---Sarah England, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Soka University of America
