- Afro-Guatemalans are Guatemalans of African descent. According to the 2018 census, 0.3% of the population identifies as having African ancestry. They are of mainly English-speaking West Indian (Antillean) and Garifuna origin. They are found in the Caribbean coast, in Livingston (a Garifuna settlement), Puerto Barrios and Santo Tomas. During the colonial period, enslaved Africans were brought in, but significantly mixed with the other ethnicities in the general population. Therefore, many (but not all) of the descendants of the original Africans who came with Spanish colonizers, today, can be referred to as Afro-mestizos due to miscegenation. However, there are two other groups in the country that are of African descent: Garifunas, an exiled Afro/Indigenous (primarily African) group, known in Spanish as zambo. They originally came from the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent (Antilles), where escaped enslaved Africans and Amerindians intermingled and created a society and culture of their own. Spanish colonist became afraid and exiled them to the smaller island of Roatan. After realizing the small island could not sustain their population, groups of Garifuna later settled on the Caribbean coasts of several mainland Central American countries, including Guatemala. The other group are the descendants of Afro-West Indian migrants who came from English-speaking Caribbean islands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries primarily to work for the United Fruit Company, as well as to work on railroad building, and in the whaling industry.
