Abstract
The ethnographic work for this study of the Garifuna of British Honduras (Belize) was carried out by the author during twelve months in 1947-1948. This work is a major contribution to anthropological literature. Although the material presented here is dated, the work presents a well-rounded overview of traditional Garifuna (Garifuna) culture of that time. The source covers cultural history, relations with other ethnic populations of the region, language, subsistence activities, social organization, life cycle events, and religious beliefs and practices. Taylor also provides much comparative information in this work on the Island Caribs or Callinago.
