Afro-Costa Rican Erotic

Afro-Costa Ricans comprise approximately 7.5% of the Costa Rican population per the 2011 INEC census — the largest non-Mestizo demographic group, concentrated heavily in Limón Province where Afro-descendants comprise approximately 30% of the provincial population. The community descends primarily from late-19th c. Jamaican and other British West Indian labor migration to construct the Atlantic Railroad (1871-1890, under the supervision of Minor C Keith of the United Fruit Company, who recruited approximately 10,000 Jamaican workers) and to subsequently work the banana plantations of the Caribbean coast. The community has historically maintained English-Creole language traditions (alongside Spanish), Anglican-Methodist-Baptist religious traditions, and Caribbean-Anglophone musical and culinary traditions. The Afro-Costa Rican population was politically marginalized through much of the 20th century — until 1948 the country prohibited Afro-Costa Ricans from settling outside Limón Province, with cultural and economic effects continuing into the contemporary period. The 2014 Costa Rican constitutional reform (the 'multicultural and multiethnic' amendment) formalized recognition of Afro-Costa Rican identity within the national framework.
