This week we will look at the history of Belize, focusing primarily on the Garifuna culture. These are a people whose origins evolved from Nigerians who escaped slavery and mixed with the Caribs, and developed a very unique culture.
We will also take an inside look of what it is like to be a person of Afrikan descent living in Japan. This is the first time this mixing of two distinct cultures will be explored, with surprising results.
