In Surviving the Americas, Serena Cosgrove, Jos Idiquez, 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.

1200 | Some Caribs migrate from the Guianas region of northern South America to the island of St. Vincent, integrating with the Arawaks that inhabit it. |
1502 | Christopher Columbuss fourth voyage reaches the coast of Honduras, and he travels south to Panam. |
1500s | The Arawaks are forced to labor in mines by the Spanish, where many of them die from overwork, starvation, and disease. |
1512 | The king of Spain authorizes the enslavement of Caribs from St. Vincent and the Lesser Antilles. The Caribs on St. Vincent had been largely left alone due to two reasons: St. Vincent did not have precious metals to entice the Spanish, and the Caribs were far fiercer and defensive against incursions than the gentle Arawak. |
1525 | Spain begins its conquest of Honduras. |
1600s | The northern coast of Honduras is claimed by British buccaneers. |
1625 | The French, under Belain dEsnambuc, arrive to St. Vincent to settle alongside the British, leading to increasing tension with the Caribs. Eventually, the Caribs attack the English settlement on the island. |
1626 | The French and English ally to ambush the Caribs and massacre them in retaliation. |
1629 | English Puritans colonize the island of Providencia, 110 miles off the coast of Nicaragua. Africans also settled the island alongside the Puritans. |
1635 | Two Spanish ships wreck on the coast of St. Vincent. West African slaves on the ships escape onto the island and begin to integrate with the Carib Indian population; their mixing leads to the emergence of the Garifuna or Black Caribs. |
1641 | The Spanish invade the Providencia colony and destroy it, capturing many English and African settlers in the process. Some of the African settlers escape to the Nicaraguan mainland and join the Miskitu who live there. Other Africans arrive to the area around this time fleeing slavery, either having escaped from shipwrecks off the coast or from other areas of the Caribbean and Central America. |
1652 | The first Jesuit priest, Father Andr Djan, arrives to St. Vincent from France. |
1653 | A second Jesuit priest, Father Pierre Aubergeon, arrives to replace Fr. Djan. |
1654 | Black Caribs attack and kill the two Jesuit priests and their assistant. |
1660 | Both France and England recognize St. Vincent as belonging to the Black Caribs. |
1674 | Black Caribs on St. Vincent and Dominica ally with France to attack English settlements. |
1675 | Another ship wrecks on the coast of St. Vincent, bringing another wave of African slaves to the island. |
1700s | By the mid-eighteenth century, there are several Anglo-dominated British/African/Amerindian communities along the Caribbean coast. Some of the biggest settlements include Bluefields, Corn Island, Pearl Key Lagoon, Cabo Gracias a Dios, Black River, Bragmans Bluff, and Punta Gorda. |
1723 | Two British ships arrive to St. Vincent to declare the islanders natural-born subjects of Great Britain and begin the British settlement process. |
