Resumen
VELIZ CATALAN, Néstor. Contributing to the Colonial History of Belize: Explaining the Indian Presence in British Honduras. Anuario de Estudios Centroamericanos [online]. 2020, vol.46, pp.142-181. ISSN 2215-4175. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aeca.v46i0.45043.
First, this work offers a prospection of the studies on the Hindu migration to the British Honduras colony in the 19th century. Next, a discussion takes place about whether the movement that brought the first Hindus to this colony can be interpreted as a “diaspora” or should it be conceptualized as labor or other migration. The study concludes with a section that seeks to explain the Hindu presence in the colony, which also led them to the territory of Guatemala. It concludes with a reflection that synthesizes the set of experiences obtained in the process of investigation and argumentative construction on an unexplored topic in the Central American region.
