A9780817318710Hardback. New. Among the Garifuna: Family Tales and Ethnography from the Caribbean Coast is an intimate ethnographic narrative of one indigenous family in the twentieth-century Caribbean offering original insights on daily life gender culture ethnicity and religion. Among the Garifuna is the first ethnographic narrative of a Garifuna family. They are descendants of the "Black Carib" whom the British de-posited on Roatan Island in 1797 and who settled along the Caribbean coast from Belize City to Nicaragua. In 1980 medical anthropologist Marilyn McKillop Wells found herself embarking on an "improbable journey" when she was invited to the area to do fieldwork with the added challenge of revealing the "real" Garifuna. Upon her arrival on the island Wells is warmly embraced by a local family the Diegos and sets to work recording life events and indigenous perspectives on polygyny Afro-indigenous identity ancestor-worshiping religion and more resulting in a lovingly intimate earthy human drama. The family narrative is organized chronologically. Part I The Old Ways is comprised of vignettes that introduce the family backstory with dia-logue as imagined by Wells based on the family history she was told. We meet the family progenitors Margaret and Cervantes Diego during their courtship experience Margaret's pain as Cervantes takes a second wife witness the death of Cervantes and ensuing mourning rituals follow the return of Margaret and the children to their previous home in British Honduras and observe the emergence of the children's personalities. In Part II Living There Wells continues the story when she arrives in Belize and meets the Diego children including the major protago-nist Tas. In Tas's household she learns about foods and manners and watches family squabbles and reconciliations. In these mini-stories Wells interweaves cultural information on the Garifuna people with first-person narrative and transcription of their words assembling these into an enthralling slice of life. Part III The Ancestor Party takes the reader through a fascinating postmortem ritual that is enacted to facilitate the journey of the spirits of the honored ancestors to the supreme supernatural. Among the Garifuna contributes to the literary genre known as narrative anthropology ethnographic fiction or feminist ethnography in the tradi-tion of Zora Neal Hurston and other women writing culture in a personal way. Anthropologists Caribbeanists Latin Americanists students and general readers alike will warm to this family story as an instant classic. hardcover
