This book, “The Insurrectional Resistance of the Garifuna Revolution” by anthropologist Andoni Castillo Perez, brings other glances in the comparison of our races. As well as new discussions and a paradigm shift about the history of the Garifuna, through bibliographical research in England, France, and consultation of some archive of Saint Vincent and Timbuktu Mali. Also included are archival inquiries from the 16th and 17th centuries of the English and French, a categorization of data was made, allowing the comparison of information found between the chronicles of the British, the French and the African expedition to the Americas.The English and the French had a closer relationship with the Garinagu people during their revolution, where they fought battles, many of which were recorded by the chroniclers of that time and described in this book. Also included are accounts of oral knowledge transmitted from the Baba (grandfather and grandmother) of that generation about their experiences living in Saint Vincent and the cause of their expulsion to Roatan in the year 1797. On the other side, a retrospective analysis was done of the musical philosophy about the spiritual ceremony of the Garifuna religion of DÜGÜ, which relates in song the history and the analysis that becomes evident. This book contributes in presenting the history from within YUORUMEIN’S CHOSEN, their role during the struggles to defend against the invader’s aggression, their majestic organizational system, political techniques and strategies, their spiritual strength, the mystery of cultural dynamics, as well as its sophisticated technological tools for navigation, exploration, and commercial exchange with other peoples. The reciprocity in the construction of relationships and their spiritual conception are some of the feats that we echoed in our book. This is information that has not been revealed to the Garifuna society would have never been imagined, the extraordinary, fascinating and charged with energy and insurrectional resistance, which was the Garinagu. Given this, it is called to rewrite and relearn about it, it is an invitation for reflection and the criticism of the history that has been written up until now.
