About the book

In April 1953, the first general election under universal adult suffrage was held in British Guiana and was won by the People's Progressive Party (PPP). Later that year, the PPP was removed from office and the Constitution suspended by Britain's Churchill-led government. Between the Suspension and the next general election in 1957, the PPP split into two factions. Divide and Conquer will seek to explain these events and explore how they affected the local struggle for self-government from the colonial power, and also whether the Cold War influenced the outcome.
