Black and Indigenous

More about the book

The book explores the complex identity of the Garifuna people, who navigate their dual identification as Black and indigenous in Central America and the U.S. Mark Anderson analyzes how they embrace traditional discourses of ethnicity and political struggle while simultaneously affirming their African roots. This duality is reflected in their cultural expressions, particularly through the influence of U.S. hip-hop music and culture, illustrating a rich tapestry of identity that challenges simplistic categorizations.
