About the book
Guyana: History and Literature examines Guyana's growth as a nation over 350 years. 64 reviews of works of history, biography, memoirs, fiction, even a play and an interview, all of which discuss politics, ethnicity, culture, African slavery, Indian indenture and fortunes of the two best known Guyanese politicians - Dr Cheddi Jagan and Forbes Burnham. The volume offers the variety and scope of an anthology, perceptions and insights of a literary critic, elegance and style of fine writing, and the thrill of fresh revelation and discovery.
