In this episode of the Dis A fi mi History Podcast, Maria Fernanda de Almeida examines the consequences of colonialism for the Garifuna people of St. Vincent, highlighting their mixed Indigenous and African origins, forced exile, and the spread of their culture across the Caribbean and Central America. We delve into how oral history, family genealogy, language, music, and spiritual practices have preserved Garifuna identity amid ongoing struggles over land, recognition, and cultural survival in the modern diaspora. This exploration reveals the deeper connections between colonial history and present-day experiences for the Garifuna community.
