Notes:
76 p., Much attention has been given to the indigenous populations of Central America by historians and anthropologists, but nothing has been done regarding a very important segment of the population that is the African presence in Central America. This book examines the Garifuna in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
