Abstract
In the last century, a number of Europeans and North Americans traveled through Black Carib settlements in Central America and recorded their impressions of the inhabitants. Despite only fleeting contact, they were struck by the distinctive “manners and customs” of the Black Carib, whom they described, almost without exception, as an “exclusive,” endogamous people. A midcentury census from Belize, which enumerated many mixed Caribs, offers a conflicting view: in just 60 years, between their initial entry into Belize in 1802 and the compilation of the 1861 census, Black Caribs had apparently reproduced with a variety of non-Caribs.
