Latin America has one of the most heterogeneous populations in the world – in other words, you can find countless ethnic groups, backgrounds and cultures that make it a true gem of humanity. One of the most precious groups that can be found in the region is that of the Garifuna (or Garinagu). Descendants of West African and indigenous Central American natives, this group represents not only a mix of cultures but a beautiful fusion of continents separated by an ocean.
But the Garifuna have – in recent times – become victims of persecution and murder due to the greedy ambitions and financial desires of powerful entities, who wish to displace them from their lands and take their homes from them.
Find out more about the history, culture and struggles of the Garifuna in our latest episode of Learn Spanish with Stories!
