Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first published account of the massive U.S. covert intervention in British Guiana between 1953 and 1969, Stephen G. Rabe uncovers a Cold War story of imperialism, gender bias, and racism. When the South American colony now known as Guyana was due to gain independence from Britain in the 1960s, U.S. officials in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations feared it would become a communist nation under the leadership of Cheddi Jagan, a Marxist who was very popular among the South Asian (mostly Indian) majority. Although to this day the CIA refuses to confirm or deny involvement, Rabe presents evidence that CIA funding, through a program run by the AFL-CIO, helped foment the labor unrest, race riots, and general chaos that led to Jagan's replacement in 1964. The political leader preferred by the United States, Forbes Burnham, went on to lead a twenty-year dictatorship in which he persecuted the majority Indian population. Considering race, gender, religion, and ethnicity along with traditional approaches to diplomatic history, Rabe's analysis of this Cold War tragedy serves as a needed corrective to interpretations that depict the Cold War as an unsullied U.S. triumph.

Download or read book Guiana and the Shadows of Empire written by Joshua R. Hyles and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of the three Guianas, now known as Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Though histories of each of the countries exist, this is the first work in a century to consider the three countries as a group, and thus the first to present the history of all three as a comparative and overarching study. Special emphasis has been given to the story of how each colony was administered by Britain, the Netherlands, and France respectively, and how these differing colonial administrative policies have given rise to three vastly different cultures. Because the geographical area of the Guianas is relatively small, the indigenous population at the time of contact was relatively uniform across the area, and the external pressures on the three colonies over their histories exhibited significant similarities, the book presents the Guianas as an ideal laboratory in which to study the effects of imperialism and cultural assimilation practices. The book also briefly considers the present political and cultural status of the three polities and makes some projections about their possible futures. In all, the book presents a complete history from prehistory until the present day covering the entirety of the Guianas region, relating a colorful history from a little-studied corner of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Exhibits of British Guiana: With Notes This publication is intended to be merely a hand-list of the exhibits of British Guiana, in the various parts of the Exhibition, classed according to the official system. By the preparation and publication, under its own superintendence, of a special illustrated Handbook of British Guiana (Georgetown, British Guiana), giving detailed information as to the general description, settlements, inhabitants, communication, climate, and meteorology, forest products, geology, gold industry, fauna, flora, history, and resources and capabilities of the Colony, the Exposition Committee has obviated the necessity of incorporating here anything of that character, and the reader is referred to that work for all such information. The few notes here given are simply explanatory of the exhibits. A large proportion of these exhibits is official, contributed by the Exposition Committee of the Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana, intrusted by the Government with the carrying out in British Guiana of the arrangements for the Exposition. Other exhibits, made by private exhibitors, are so denoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
