MEZA MARQUEZ, Consuelo. Literary Discourse of the Garífuna Women Poets in Central American Caribbean: Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Latinoamérica [online]. 2012, n.55, pp.245-278. ISSN 2448-6914.
The paper shows the poetic works of Garífuna women writers from Caribbean Central America. Their discourse shows the construction of an identity as garífuna and as women. It is an underground movement that works as a supplement to history, memory, and cultural traditions. In this process, the work of women as transmitters of culture is central to daily life, throughout history, and in the practice of representation in literature. This central-African discourse is creating a movement beyond the borders of the different countries with garífuna population, and is recovering symbols, images, dreams, and ideals that allow their permanency of the garífuna ethnicity.
