Afro-Vincentian Erotic

Afro-Vincentians comprise approximately 71% of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines population per the 2012 Statistical Office census. The community descends from enslaved Africans brought to colonial Saint Vincent between approximately 1719 (when British and French settlement intensified) and 1834 emancipation, with substantial 18th c. African slave-trade arrivals during sugar-economy expansion. The post-emancipation Afro-Vincentian population has remained demographically dominant. Saint Vincent has a distinctive demographic history shaped by the 1797 deportation of approximately 5,000 Black Caribs (descendants of escaped Africans who had intermarried with Indigenous Caribs over centuries) to Roatán Island in Honduras, where they became the founding population of the modern Garífuna communities of Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua — Saint Vincent is the original homeland of the Garífuna people, and a substantial demographic legacy persists in the current Saint Vincent population.
