Garifunas in HondurasPhotographs © Paul Jeffrey – Move the cursor over the image for full caption information. Click on the thumbnail to view a large, high resolution version of the photograph. Garifunas are a black/indigenous group that arrived on the Caribbean coast of Central America just over two centuries ago after being expelled from St. Vincent by the British. Garifuna communities – with their unique history, culture, and language - are found on some of Honduras’ best beaches, a fact that has brought Garifunas into the eye of a storm about who will control the process of economic development, in this case tourism.
