About the Book
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.
