    Press Release

    New BOOKS to be released on POLITICS AND GARIFUNA SPIRITUALISM


    On Wednesday June 22, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. the Image Factory will host the public presentation of Adgrahani: A Walk Through Garifuna Spiritualism and Electoral Politics in Belize: The Naked Truth by I Myrtle Palacio. Palacio wrote the Garifuna spiritualism book to document traditional knowledgethe Dg and all nine rituals associated with the ceremony, to investigate the misunderstood phenomenon of Garifuna spiritualism and to raise awareness to anomalies. The author makes special thanks to Garifuna icon and Buyei John Mariano who inspired, pursued and permitted research to pass on knowledge to the next generation and in whose memory this detailed description was written. She researched the Electoral Politics Book to contribute to the discourse on enhancing the quality of democracy--the culture of international election observation, safeguarding and strengthening democratic institutions, electoral systems and management. The book presents an overview of the system of governance from the public meeting to the National Assembly and tracks voter behaviour via voter turnout. I Myrtle Palacio served as a teacher at primary and tertiary levels in Belize. She served in the public service for almost 10 years introducing voter education and the computerization of the electoral database. In the private sector she pioneered the computer industry and political polling culture in Belize. She is self-educated to the graduate school level in urban studies specializing in social planning and community development. Palacio has published in the areas of socio-cultural and socio-political topics since 1990. She has dedicated the second book to her grandchildren and their generation of Belizeans. The books will be on sale for... at the Image Factory shop, the Angelus Press, Brodies and other places where books are sold. You can contact the author directly at [email protected].
