{"product_id":"surviving-the-americas-serena-cosgrove-9781947602113","title":"Surviving the Americas: Garifuna Persistence from Nicaragua to New York City","description":"The Garifuna are a Central American, Afro-Indigenous people descended from shipwrecked West Africans and local Indigenous groups on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent. For over two centuries, the Garifuna have experienced oppression, exile, and continued diaspora that has stretched their communities to Honduras, Belize, and beyond. However, little has been written about the experiences of the Garifuna in Nicaragua, a community of about 5,000 who live primarily on the Caribbean coast of the country. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSurviving the Americas\u003c\/i\u003e, Serena Cosgrove, José Idiáquez, Leonard Joseph Bent, and Andrew Gorvetzian shed light on what it means to be Garifuna today, particularly in Nicaragua. Their research includes over nine months of fieldwork in Garifuna communities in the Pearl Lagoon on the southern Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and in New York City. The resulting ethnography illustrates the unique social issues of the Nicaraguan Garifuna and how their culture, traditions, and reverence for their ancestors continues to persist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Serena Cosgrove, José Idiáquez, Leonard Joseph Bent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194760211X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947602113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Cincinnati Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Serena Cosgrove","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941048058111,"sku":"9781947602113","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_08a951de-0adc-41c0-8b1e-6a1dad1b0723.jpg?v=1681450606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surviving-the-americas-serena-cosgrove-9781947602113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
