    ABSTRACT BECOMING WHO WE ARE: INFORMAL LEARNING AND IDENTITY FORMATION AMONG THE GARINAGU OF WESTERN BELIZE Harold Anthony Lopez, Ed.D. Department of Counseling, Adult, and Higher Education Northern Illinois University, 2014 Gene Roth and Jorge Jeria, Co-Directors This ethnography explores the wholesome contexts of informal learning and identity formation among an ethnic minority group in Belize. The central research question of the study was: How is informal learning manifested among the Garinagu of Western Belize. Snowball sampling technique was used to recruit 20 participants aged between 36 and 82 years. The group’s ways of learning were examined through the lens of Sociocultural learning theory. In the conduct of the maintenance of culture, learning is centered on their resiliency as examined through the various experiences that they acquired as a result of their movements, disruption and setbacks, the concept of Garifunaduaü, the meet and greet process, and the roles of rituals and ancestry. The Garinagu display remarkable resiliency in their quest to maintain their cultural identity. Their resiliency is demonstrated through the ways in which they navigate their world that constantly changes through the many moves, disruptions and setbacks that they experience and share. Garifunaduaü pays homage to the principles of caring, daring, sharing and family. Rituals and ancestry provides for connection and continuity. Connection with traditional Garifuna communities as maintained through regular or extended visits to traditional communities helped participants retain key cultural habits and artifacts including fluency in the Garifuna language, participation in the rituals, and regular preparation of traditional foods. Smaller family sizes and a shrinking of the extended family are threatening cultural practice.

  • Incarnation of the National Identity Or Ethnic Affirmation ? Creoles of Belize
    Chapter 2 Incarnation of the National Identity or Ethnic Affirmation? Creoles of Belize1 Elisabeth Cunin xyx h wahn no who seh Kriol no gat no kolcha” (“I want to know who said Creoles have no culture”). The title of this“A song by Lee Laa Vernon, famous Belizean artist, reveals the current transformations of the “Creole” status in this small Anglophone country of Central America. Until now, because it was considered the symbol of Belize, the “Creole culture” did not need to be defined, much less defended. This culture was considered to be precisely what bound together a society that was characterized by a multiplicity of groups, described in accordance with their specific origin, history, culture and language. This society was frequently shown as multiethnic, in which the Creoles were the guarantors of integration and “ethnic” labels were reserved for the rest, the “others.” Creoles recognized themselves better in their close relationship with power, symbolized by the British Crown and its representa- tives, colonial administrators and major traders, in a territory that was British Honduras for a long time. Does the fact that Blackness and mestizaje in Mexico and Central America Creoles wonder about their own culture now mean they have to be understood as an ethnic group just like the others? In the way this ethnicity is asserted, are the aspirations of the Creoles to embody the nation, in the way they are considered to have embodied the colony, thereby weakened? Being the dominant group, the Creoles did not define them- selves as an ethnic group; they reserved this label for the “others,” those who were not thought to incarnate the Colony, and then the Nation; those who, quoting the expression of Cedric Grant (1976, 19), are in the society, but are not from this society.

  • ABSTRACT Garifuna Waguia
    ABSTRACT Garifuna Waguia: Conservation and Revitalization of Garifuna Language in the Southern Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua The Garifuna Nation is an afro-indigenous ethnic group that can be found throughout Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the island of St. Vincent. This project outlines the current status and community efforts towards the revitalization of Garifuna language in the Southern Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, specifically the town of Orinoco. While there are an estimated 100,000 speakers of Garifuna across the world, there are currently only two fluent speakers in Orinoco, both of whom are elderly. Although language classes are given at the Manuel Mongalo Elementary School in Orinoco, Nicaragua, language education is not provided to those who are not enrolled in school. My thesis reports on community demands towards the implementation of a language program for the adults of the community who may not have the opportunity to learn the language otherwise. In order to meet the community demands and needs, this work draws from two approaches: a comparison between other indigenous language revitalization efforts throughout Latin America and the United States and the development of a Pedagogical Grammar for Garifuna, the latter of which aids adult learners with second language acquisition. The overarching objective of this study is to contribute to the ongoing effort of the Garifuna community in order to achieve an accessible pathway to the revitalization and conservation of the language. Garifuna Waguia: Conservation and Revitalization of Garifuna Language in the Southern Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua Michele Margarita Cubillo Baltodano Senior Thesis Thesis Advisor: Esther Castro-Cuenca May 5th, 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank my thesis advisor, Professor Esther Castro-Cuenca, for supporting me unconditionally, providing constructive feedback, and continuously encouraging me throughout this project.

  • La Paranda Garifuna En Amérique Centrale : De Sa Redécouverte À Son Internationalisation Grâce Au Studio D’Enregistrement
    La paranda garifuna en Amérique centrale : de sa redécouverte à son internationalisation grâce au studio d’enregistrement ONS BARNAT Résumé : Alors que la paranda garifuna semblait inéluctablement vouée à une disparition pro- chaine en Amérique centrale (du fait de la raréfaction de ses interprètes conjuguée à son impo- pularité auprès des jeunes), son entrée récente dans les studios d’enregistrement locaux repré- sente un processus inédit de patrimonialisation musicale – aujourd’hui relayé par le puissant engouement qu’elle suscite chez l’ensemble des musiciens et producteurs locaux. Au sein de la création musicale locale, de nouvelles compositions – apparues dans le cadre de productions soi- gneusement adaptées aux attentes des auditeurs internationaux de world music – font appel à des influences inédites, aujourd’hui largement partagées par la majorité des acteurs de la scène musicale contemporaine. uelque temps en terrain centraméricain suffit pour se rendre compte Qque la paranda garifuna vit un moment charnière de son histoire, se trou- vant à la croisée des chemins entre son internationalisation récente (à travers la commercialisation massive de certains disques locaux destinés à un marché mondialisé) et sa mise en valeur au niveau local (illustrée notamment au Belize par des politiques culturelles favorables à sa diffusion). Au sein de la création musicale locale, de nouvelles compositions – apparues dans le cadre de pro- ductions soigneusement adaptées aux attentes des auditeurs internationaux de world music1 – font appel à des influences inédites, aujourd’hui largement partagées par la majorité des acteurs de la scène musicale contemporaine2. Il apparaît, de plus, que cette dynamique semble s’être accentuée proportion- nellement au succès international de ces mêmes disques, révélant ainsi une relation circulaire continue entre les pôles global et local.
