Bøker i The Practising Anthropologist-serien

Garifuna Peoplehood and Barranco is the third volume of The Practicing Anthropologist, a compilation of the published papers of Dr. Joseph Orlando Palacio, Belize's foremost social scientist. This third volume contains Garifuna history, food, and spirituality, as well as their use of land. "This third volume of the Practicing Anthropologist: Garifuna Peoplehood and Barranco should be required reading for all students. It provides information that every educated Belizean should possess. Many older Belizeans grew up reading other people's stories and learning other people's histories at the expense of their own. Later, when they had access to their own histories, more often than not these histories were written by non-Belizeans. With this volume, authored by a Belizean, our students have access to information that can make their learning experience a look in the mirror as well as through a window. They will be learning their own histories as well as using their historical lens as a way to make sense of the world." ---from the Foreword by Harriet Sheila Arzu Scarborough
