The Afro-Jamaicans were ""invited"" to Guatemala to work for United Fruit Company. Upon their arrival, they were met by other blacks they called ""Caribs"". The Caribs called the Jamaicans ""Guiou"", which in their language translates to ""the other blacks"". To the Jamaicans, the Caribs were ""the other blacks"".
