Book Description
This book, "The Insurrectional Resistance of the Garifuna Revolution" by anthropologist Andoni Castillo Perez, brings other glances in the comparison of our races. As well as new discussions and a paradigm shift about the history of the Garifuna, through bibliographical research in England, France, and consultation of some archive of Saint Vincent and Timbuktu Mali. Also included are archival inquiries from the 16th and 17th centuries of the English and French, a categorization of data was made, allowing the comparison of information found between the chronicles of the British, the French and the African expedition to the Americas.The English and the French had a closer relationship with the Garinagu people during their revolution, where they fought battles, many of which were recorded by the chroniclers of that time and described in this book. Also included are accounts of oral knowledge transmitted from the Baba (grandfather and grandmother) of that generation about their experiences living in Saint Vincent and the cause of their expulsion to Roatan in the year 1797. On the other side, a retrospective analysis was done of the musical philosophy about the spiritual ceremony of the Garifuna religion of DÜGÜ, which relates in song the history and the analysis that becomes evident. This book contributes in presenting the history from within YUORUMEIN'S CHOSEN, their role during the struggles to defend against the invader's aggression, their majestic organizational system, political techniques and strategies, their spiritual strength, the mystery of cultural dynamics, as well as its sophisticated technological tools for navigation, exploration, and commercial exchange with other peoples. The reciprocity in the construction of relationships and their spiritual conception are some of the feats that we echoed in our book. This is information that has not been revealed to the Garifuna society would have never been imagined, the extraordinary, fascinating and charged with energy and insurrectional resistance, which was the Garinagu. Given this, it is called to rewrite and relearn about it, it is an invitation for reflection and the criticism of the history that has been written up until now.

The Black Carib Wars
Author: Christopher Taylor
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1617033111
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
In The Black Carib Wars, Christopher Taylor offers the most thoroughly researched history of the struggle of the Garifuna people to preserve their freedom on the island of St. Vincent. Today, thousands of Garifuna people live in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua and the United States, preserving their unique culture and speaking a language that directly descends from that spoken in the Caribbean at the time of Columbus. All trace their origins back to St. Vincent where their ancestors were native Carib Indians and shipwrecked or runaway West African slaves—hence the name by which they were known to French and British colonialists: Black Caribs. In the 1600s they encountered Europeans as adversaries and allies. But from the early 1700s, white people, particularly the French, began to settle on St. Vincent. The treaty of Paris in 1763 handed the island to the British who wanted the Black Caribs' land to grow sugar. Conflict was inevitable, and in a series of bloody wars punctuated by uneasy peace the Black Caribs took on the might of the British Empire. Over decades leaders such as Tourouya, Bigot, and Chatoyer organized the resistance of a society which had no central authority but united against the external threat. Finally, abandoned by their French allies, they were defeated, and the survivors deported to Central America in 1797. The Black Carib Wars draws on extensive research in Britain, France, and St. Vincent to offer a compelling narrative of the formative years of the Garifuna people.

Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age
Author: Colin Barker
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 164259489X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
This ambitious volume examines revolutionary situations during a non-revolutionary historical conjuncture--the neoliberal era. The last three decades have seen an increase in the number of political upheavals that challenge existing power structures, many of them taking the form of urban revolts. This book compellingly explores a series of such upheavals--in Eastern Europe, South Africa, Indonesia, Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela, sub-Saharan Africa (including Congo, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso) and Egypt. Each chapter studies the ways in which protest movements developed into insurgent challenges to state power, and the strategies that regimes have deployed to contain and repress revolt. In addition to empirical chapters, the book engages in theorization of revolution, dealing with questions such as the patterning of revolution in contemporary history, the relationship between class struggle and social movements, and the prospects of socialist revolution in the twenty-first century.
