Garifuna Continuity in Land: Barranco Settlement and Land Use 1892 to 2000 traces the ownership and use of land in Barranco from the time of the first official survey in 1892 to 2000. In tying together land tenure with kinship the book documents not only who applied for land but also through what blood and other family ties ownership has transpired for over three and more generations. The extensive archival methods the book uses makes it very important to scholars as well as to all people interested in the history of land tenure in our urban and rural communities. More especially for the village of Barranco and surrounding communities the reader can find out what land his/her ancestor owned and the successive owners up to 2000.

Bibliographical Collection on the Garifuna People

On This Day in Barangu: A Genealogical Calendar of Life Events presents the genealogy of a Garifuna (indigenous/Afro-descendant) community in southern Belize, Barranco (Barangu in the Garifuna language) in the form of a calendar. Each day has the genealogical events---births, marriages, death---that occurred on that day, as well as additional information about the Baranguna (people associated with Barranco) involved, such as, nicknames; their parents, spouses, children; past roles in the village; and how the person is related to someone living in the village now. The time-frame covers from the establishment of the village to the present. The calendar is illustrated with photographs and charts explaining multiple relationships between Baranguna. Three-generation charts from the beginning of each major last name allow Baranguna to find their ancestors. A complete index is included.
