    Extractions: guyana caribbean politics .com By Hazel Woolford - Guyana Chronicle April 30th. 2000 This article seeks to examine the status of political alliances in Guyana, during the second half of the twentieth century. It will be noted, that there was no scope for independents to contest elections, after 1953, and that the major political parties, only opted for alliances when their power appeared threatened, or when they were in the opposition. In 1951, the Waddington Constitution provided for universal adult suffrage in British Guiana. This historic step in our political history, meant that all Guyanese who were 21 years old and over, had the opportunity to vote, at the 1953 General Election. It was this election which sharply etched Cheddi Jagan and Forbes Burnham in Guiana's political landscape. Jagan had successfully contested in the 1947 elections as an Independent candidate. But the 1953 general election was different. Jagan had become leader of the PPP, and the chairman was Forbes Burnham. While Burnham had not previously contested for a seat in the Legislative Assembly, he had participated in the municipal elections. Burnham had been elected a member of the Georgetown Town Council in 1952. Hence, he had a taste of the cut and thrust of politics.

Guyana Home 1763 Slave Revolt Forbes Burnham Declaration of Sophia ... COSBERT GUYANA A Destiny to Mould The history of Guyana has been written in the main from a romantic European perspective. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the spirit of Guyana is a black-African one. The African slave (Afro-Guyanese) was the only race capable of working the harse plantation lands and breaking and laying the bricks for the Guyana sea-walls from the late 16th and early 17th century and despite European exploitation still survive this ebony voyage. Solid as a Rock. Ebony Voyage Black Mamba. Hiding deep in the heart of Africa. You’ve poisoned our seed. Stigmatised our creed. With your venomous stain / You’ve left us in pain. Torture and cruelty / Written on the brain. On many a long Caribbean trip / We endured your cruel whip. With every stroke / You watched us bleed. A resolute breed / This Afreecan creed. Shackled with cold steel / We spun the wheel. As you swung your hip / And released the whip. We bit our lip / Swallowed our spit / And muscled the ship.

    Extractions: Thayer Watkins The Political and Economic History of Guyana Guyana is an interesting and significant case. It is interesting because of the unexpected ethnic mix of the the population. Slightly over 50 percent of the population is descended from East Indian migrants. About 40 percent are descendants of African slave brought to work the sugar plantations. The rest is an odd assortment of Amerindians and Europeans. Guyana is a significant case because its socialist government destroyed the ecoomy with bad policies. That socialist government, led by Linden Forbes Burnham, was considered the lesser evil to the Marxist-Leninist party led by Cheddi Jagan and his wife Janet. After Burnham unexpectedly died while being operated on by Cuban surgeons the Jagans did come to power in Guyana but by that time even Marxist-Leninists were advocating an abandonment of socialism. In prehistoric times the Arawak Amerindians migrated from what is now Brazil into what is Guyana and the north coast region of South America. They continued on into the islands of the Caribbean. The Arawak were relatively peaceful farmers who also fished and hunted. Not long before European contact another more warlike tribe from Brazil, the Caribs, invaded the area populated by the Arawaks, defeating and decimating them. And then came another warlike people, the Europeans, who defeated the Caribs. The Spanish made early sightings of the north coast of South America but showed little interest in it because there was little indication of there being values there. The area later became known as the Guianas, an Amerindian word meaning

It is bordered on the north by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by Suriname, on the south by Brazil, and on the west by Brazil and Venezuela. The country achieved independence on May 26, 1966. Guyana has an area of 214,969 sq km (83,000 sq mi); its coastline is about 435 km (270 mi) long. The capital is Georgetown. Official Name- Co-operative Republic of Guyana 10 regions; Barima-Waini, Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Demerara-Mahaica, East Berbice-Corentyne, Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, Mahaica-Berbice, Pomeroon-Supenaam, Potaro-Siparuni, Upper Demerara-Berbice, Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo Guyana People Back to Top The indigenous peoples of Guyana are collectively known as Amerindians and constitute about 4 percent of the population. Indian groups include the Warao (Warrau), Arawak, Carib, Wapisiana (Wapishana), Arecuna, the mixed “Spanish Arawak” of the Moruka River, and many more in the forest areas. The Makusí (Macussí or Macushí) are the most prominent of the savanna peoples. Sizable concentrations of Amerindians inhabit the far west along the border with Venezuela and Brazil. They are rarely seen in the populated coastal areas, although a few have interbred with blacks and East Indians. Since 1970, traditional Amerindian lands near the international borders have come under government control, although Amerindians continue to hold village lands informally throughout Guyana's interior.

    Extractions: Guyana is a beautiful place to live but her history and recent events, with the PNC Party and the Leadership of the Guyana Public Service Union have lead to many human rights violations. After slavery was abolished in 1838 the British Colonizers made their first importation of indentured labourers, with the steamships SS Whitby and Hesperus , May 5, 1838 from Calcutta. My grandmother, Somwaria , came in the SS 850 BR in 1902. My grandfather, Edu, came in the SS Sutley in 1916. As a second generation Indian in Guyana, I like to read books on India and Indian History. The stories of the Taj Mahal and Subash Chandra Bose's struggle to free India from British Colonialism have been of particular interest to me. In addition, I have read the History of East Indians in British Guiana by Dwarka Nauth, numerous times When I was a child, my grandfather described to me the beauty of the India that he saw on his journey by train after leaving his village in Uttar Pradesh. He passed through beautiful cities like Agra (where theTaj Mahal was built), Lucknow and Allahabad, to Calcutta in the state of Bengal. It was from Calcutta he was shipped to British Guiana. Viewing Indian movies in Guyana further strengthened my love for Mother India , and made me resolve to one day visit her. I fulfilled that resolution by studying in India and witnessed myself, the splendor of India my grandfather described to me.
