DOMINGUEZ BARBOSA, Harry Jonathan. Colonial History of the Southside of Belize City. Marginalized Spaces and Exclusion at Central American Caribbean. Anuario de Estudios Centroamericanos [online]. 2020, vol.46, pp.79-98. ISSN 2215-4175.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aeca.v46i0.42285.

Belize City has become a territory that is notoriously spatially and socially divided. The disparity is a direct result of English colonialism, in the English-speaking Caribbean. English colonialism led to the extraction of the city’s raw material: precious wood. Geographically, the city grew to the coast, spreading into the southern part of the Belize River towards the southwest. The article discusses the historic importance of these places, the limitation of some areas of society, and the shaping of the spaces that would later be called “ghettos”, which will be associated with poverty and marginalization.

Palavras-chave : British Honduras; Belize City; colonialism; afrodescendants; creole.
