In this episode, The Garifuna Experience Podcast commemorates the life of Catarino Castro Serrano (1892-1939), a significant figure in Honduran history and the first documented Garifuna intellectual and congressman.
Listeners will learn about his major contributions, including:
· His landmark book, Honduras in the first century, which provides a critical analysis of the nation's political, cultural, and military life from 1821 to 1921.
· His role as a social philosopher, promoting theosophical thought as an alternative to the dominant positivist vision of early 20th-century Honduras.
· His career as a politician and journalist, where he advocated for his home region of Colón and became a central voice in the nation's press.
Join us as we explore how this multifaceted intellectual's work continues to resonate today, finally earning him a place in Honduras's official historical memory.
