There is in Belize a transnational culture that combines a history of cultural fluidity, a tolerance of difference and an economy based on migration. It has a frontier Casablanca atmosphere with an openness to new ideas and a willingness to break the rules, making it a have for charlatans, adventurers and scalawags” (Sutherland 1996: 275)

Kosek: Belonging
Attachment: people and place connected in imaginary geography; to be a Garifuna one must be understoood in relationship with the coast
Fusing people & place explains qualities of otherness
Concept of rootedness moves beyond dependence on environment to an intrinisc characteristic of the people (Kosek 2006: 107)
Culture as fixed to and defined by place - deterministic approach (108)
Touristic Desire to own Paradise
Kosek suggests that ties to land make Garifuna representatives of idealized values that are alternatives to capitalist society, and attract people who contribute to the construction of material & imagined geography of coast (2006: 108).
