In Part I of this testimonial series on the Palmarito Afro-Descendant Commune, we examined the project’s origins and the town’s history, while Part II focused on the role of culture in Palmarito. When the lake provides, it provides for everyone; when times are tough, we organize so that no household is left behind. Right now [in February], our focus is on the crab catch, which means we give the fish a rest so they can reproduce. These three methods—longline crab fishing, fishing with nets and hooks, and shore-based crab fishing—sustain our community. Crab fishing is our tradition, our inheritance, and the basis of our economy.
