Transnational Community and Identity: a Conversation with the New Orleans Garifuna Community

Join us as Dr. Sabia McCoy-Torres guides us in conversation with representatives from the Garifuna community in New Orleans. With this panel, we hope to learn more about how Garifuna people preserve their identity and culture in both Honduras and the United States, understand how local Garifuna people navigate a transnational existence as a marginalized group in both Honduras and the United States, and learn how they build community here in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies, Africana Studies at Tulane University, the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University, the Latin American Graduate Association, and TU Gente.
