Keywords:
Asang, Cultural Identity, History, Population DistributionAbstract
The subject of this article is the different levels of self-identification of the Miskitu people of Asang. Asang is the miskitu village of the upper Río Coco which was studied by be North- American anthropologist Mary Helms at the end of the sixties. The author of this article carried out field work in Asang on several occasions between 1993-94. The main argument is that social identity results from the way individuals visualize themselves and are visualized by others. This leads to the contention that individuals define their social selves in distinct ways in different historical periods.
