Abstract:
Brondo's book combines feminist political ecology with critical race and ethnic studies and gender analysis, providing a rich ethnographic account of changing gendered politico-economic dynamics, resource management and Garifuna ethnic mobilization. While there is no lack of literature on local resistance movements against globalization and neoliberalism, Garifuna activism is unique and interesting in its complex ethnic and gendered nature: their 'indigeneity' and historical bond to local territory is less straightforward given their Caribbean indigenous and African descent; and the matrifocal character of the Garifuna - with women traditionally having more control over resources - also sets them apart from many indigenous populations.
