Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Buffalo, 1999.

This dissertation examines popular discourse concerning ethnic diversity and nationalism in the town of Dangriga, located in Belize, Central America. Each chapter offers localized visions of the moments, transactions, and events that have constituted colonial and post-colonial power relations in Dangriga and Belize as a whole. Explicit micro-level examples of local manifestations of difference are employed to explicate the larger themes of identity, inter-group relations, and inequalities in status. Social theory concerning ethnicity/race, post-colonialism, hybridity, transnationalism, and sociolinguistics offer primary perspectives from which analyses proceed.

520 $a This dissertation examines popular discourse concerning ethnic diversity and nationalism in the town of Dangriga, located in Belize, Central America. Each chapter offers localized visions of the moments, transactions, and events that have constituted colonial and post-colonial power relations in Dangriga and Belize as a whole. Explicit micro-level examples of local manifestations of difference are employed to explicate the larger themes of identity, inter-group relations, and inequalities in status. Social theory concerning ethnicity/race, post-colonialism, hybridity, transnationalism, and sociolinguistics offer primary perspectives from which analyses proceed.
520 $a Belize is the only former British colony and officially English-speaking nation in Central America. Since independence in 1981, the Belizean government has promoted respect for ethnic diversity. However, Belizean colonial history has bequeathed to its current inhabitants a legacy of inequalities. Inter-group tensions are additionally promoted by the current emigration of many English-speaking Belizeans to the United States and the immigration of large numbers of Spanish-speakers from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras into Belize. Tensions are particularly high in the poorer areas dominated by ethnic minorities, like Dangriga.
520 $a The majority of Dangrigans are of the ethnic group known as the Garifuna or Garinagu. The Garinagu are a Belizean minority, forming 6.6% of the nation's population of 200,000. This group has West African and Native Caribbean roots and forms a part of the larger African-Caribbean diaspora. The bulk of the chapters in this work examine post-colonial power relations between the Garinagu, Belizean Creoles (individuals of primarily African and British heritage), Hispanic and Mayan Central Americans, settlers to Belize from the United States and Canada, and the nations previous colonial rulers. The openness promoted through Belizean pluralistic nationalism and the competition and animosity associated with colonial history and current, transnational migration provide the backdrop against which local understandings of difference, diversity, and identity are examined.
