Taking the reader into the lived experience of Afro-Caribbean people who call the watery lowlands of Belize home, Melissa A. Johnson traces Belizean Creole peoples' relationships with the plants, animals, water, and soils around them, and analyzes how these relationships intersect with transnational racial assemblages. She provides a sustained analysis of how processes of racialization are always present in the entanglements between people and the non-human worlds in which they live. -- Provided by publisher OP - 229 CN - F1457.A1 J64 2019eb SN - 9780813597003 SN - 0813597005 SN - 9780813597027 SN - 0813597021 SN - 9780813596990 SN - 0813596998 SN - 9780813596983 SN - 081359698X KW - Ethnology : Belize.
