About this document
Emergence of The Garifuna by riofitz222 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Garifuna people emerged from the inter-marriage of escaped African slaves and the Kalinago/Arawaks in St. Vincent. Africans arrived in St. Vincent through various means, including pre-colonization, a Dutch shipwreck in 1675, and runaway slaves from Barbados. The arrival of Africans led to cultural exchanges and tensions, particularly regarding marriage practices, which created divisions within the communities.
