“…A principios del siglo XX, a diferencia de aquellos baranguna y peinina (oriundos de Punta Gorda) que se movilizaron a Livingston, Puerto Barrios, Puerto Cortés y otros sitios atraídos por la demanda de trabajadores para la frutera; en vía contraria, llegan a Belice perseguidos políticos de la dictadura de Manuel Estrada Cabrera (1898-1920), entre estos varios labugana que se refugian en Barranco. Durante el periodo en cuestión, Puerto Barrios vivió un ambiente de considerable efervescencia política, teniendo muchas de las reivindicaciones la marca de las ideas de Marcus Garvey (Opie, 2009). Volviendo a Barranco, es en este marco que los hermanos Luciano y Francisco Arzú se casan con las hermanas Eulogia y Patrocinia Palacio de Barranco, una forma de alianzas recurrente.…”

Las dinámicas de dispersión y asentamiento que los garínagu han protagonizado a lo largo de la costa caribe centroamericana es uno de los elementos que desarrolla esta reflexión a la luz del trabajo que sobre el poblado de Barranco reseñado. Vemos en el estudio de Palacio y colaboradores, una inédita propuesta sobre la historia familiar y catastral de dicho asentamiento, en gran medida ademas compartida con sus vecindades, en planos que van de lo local, regional y transnacional. Dada la característica de dicha comunidad con bilocalidad y del papel preponderante de residencia uxorilocal, este ensayo desarrolla algunas anotaciones en su calidad de concomitante —desde el puerto de Livingston— con las líneas familiares e historia compartida que se amplia a Punta Gorda.

“…Burnett, in her otherwise excellent monograph, wonders why the ‘anti-union’ Garvey might have supported the strike of Panama Canal workers in 1920, and rests on the unsatisfying conclusion that the growth of Garveyism ‘happened almost spontaneously in different parts of the world’; implying, like Opie, that Garvey’s essential vision was lost in its transmission abroad. 9…”

Caribbean labour politics in the age of Garvey, 1918–1938

This article examines the impact of Garveyism – the political brainchild of Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey – in the articulation of post first world war labour politics in the greater Caribbean region. Garveyism nurtured a platform of race-first, worker-oriented, anti-colonial politics that both gave encouragement to, and provided a language of grievance for, a series of strikes, riots and rebellions after the war. During the reactionary era that followed, Garveyites nimbly scaled back the stridency of their politics, replacing their emphasis on direct action and worker resistance with a labour politics that privileged organisation building and constitutional reform, but which continued to project the implications of the work in global terms, joined to Garveyites’ end goal of African liberation and racial redemption. By the mid-1930s, a new labour politics emerged that both surpassed Garveyist labour organising in its stridency and relied on Garveyist tropes of racial solidarity; one that distanced itself from Garveyist labour organisers while boasting a leadership that had been nurtured within the Garvey movement.
