Download or read book Guyana Diaries written by Kimberly D Nettles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guyana Diaries narrates the life histories of members of the Red Thread Development Corporation, a group of women activists in the Caribbean. Kimberly Nettles, an African American researcher, explores the impact of their work on these women’s lives and, in the process, discovers differences of class and nation that overshadow the gender and race she shares with her subjects. Blending feminist ethnography, critical autobiography, and literary narratives, Nettles examines both the collective and her own experiences in studying its members, producing an illuminating, evocative work of self and other. It should be of interest to those in race and ethnic studies, gender studies, Caribbean studies, development studies, and qualitative research.
Download or read book Guyana written by Kirk Smock and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2018 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new third edition of Bradt's Guyana remains the only guidebook available to this South American gem, a jungle-clad country teeming with exotic wildlife. Thoroughly researched, easy to use and interesting to read, Bradt's Guyana is written and updated by writers who have lived in and promoted Guyana for many years and is an ideal companion for all travellers, from wildlife watchers to fishermen, anthropologists to conservationists and 'voluntourists'. Guyana is a destination on the rise, described - justifiably - by the tourist board as 'South America Undiscovered'. This new edition of Bradt's Guyana has been updated to include all the latest developments, ranging from how to see harpy eagles at Warapoka to new culinary experiences, local tour operators, 4x4 self-drive and new hotels. Truly off the beaten track, Guyana is one of the most fascinating and least-known countries in the Americas. It is also the only English-speaking country in South America. The jewel in its crown is the mouth-droppingly beautiful Kaieteur Falls, which is nearly five times the height of Niagara and the world's tallest single-drop waterfall. Culturally Caribbean, its capital Georgetown is a curious melting-pot of quaint Dutch and British colonial architecture, steel drums, boisterous nightlife, rum shops with world-class rum, cricket and tropical sea breezes. It is also the gateway to the lush interior which is full to the brim with fascinating flora and fauna including monkeys, black caiman, harpy eagles, giant anteaters, otters and the mighty jaguar. With Bradt's Guyana, discover all of this, plus where to stay in community lodges and see the rainforest through the eyes of Amerindian guides, where to watch turtles nesting on the beach, how to explore the moody Essequibo river (the largest between the Orinoco and the Amazon), and how to visit the million-acre rainforest reserve of Iwokrama for the ultimate authentic wildlife experience. This third edition of Bradt's Guyana is the key book to plan an expedition into its densely forested lush interior, often accessible only by boat or small aircraft, before taking some 'time to lime' in a hammock in one of its tropical waterfront resorts.

Download or read book Visualising Slavery written by Celeste-Marie Bernier and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to excavate and recover a wealth of under-examined artworks and research materials directly to interrogate, debate and analyse the tangled skeins undergirding visual representations of transatlantic slavery across the Black diaspora. Living and working on both sides of the Atlantic, as these scholars, curators and practitioners demonstrate, African diasporic artists adopt radical and revisionist practices by which to confront the difficult aesthetic and political realities surrounding the social and cultural legacies let alone national and mythical memories of Transatlantic Slavery and the international Slave Trade. Adopting a comparative perspective, this book investigates the diverse body of works produced by black artists as these contributors come to grips with the ways in which their neglected and repeatedly unexamined similarities and differences bear witness to the existence of an African diasporic visual arts tradition. As in-depth investigations into the diverse resistance strategies at work within these artists' vast bodies of work testify, theirs is an ongoing fight for the right to art for art's sake as they challenge mainstream tendencies towards examining their works solely for their sociological and political dimensions. This book adopts a cross- cultural perspective to draw together artists, curators, academics, and public researchers in order to provide an interdisciplinary examination into the eclectic and experimental oeuvre produced by black artists working within the United States, the United Kingdom and across the African diaspora. The overall aim of this book is to re-examine complex yet under-researched theoretical paradigms vis-à-vis the patterns of influence and cross-cultural exchange across both America and a black diasporic visual arts tradition, a vastly neglected field of study.

Download or read book Guyana Land of Beauty and Many Waters written by Frederick Monderson and published by Frederick Monderson/Sumon Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GUYANA: LAND OF BEAUTY AND MANY WATERS! In one of the most stunning pieces of literary and creative photographic artistry to come out of Guyana in recent years, GUYANA: LAND OF BEAUTY AND MANY WATERS is more than just another book. In many ways, it is a tour de force exposition of significant aspects of the African-Guyanese historical and cultural experience, viz., "Pan-Africanism;" "African Spirituality;" "Righteousness;" "Greed is Good;" "Slave Trade;" "The African Woman;" "March 6, 1957;" "Witness to Emancipation;" "Playing the Jagan Card;" "The March for Granger: " "Freddie Kissoon;" and more. To this we add depictions of indigenous birds and animals, even a few commentaries on the contemporary blemished dark days of the Guyanese experience will certainly make this a classic in the annals of Guyanese history. This is particularly so for the photographic images that counterbalance the text ranging from depiction of the area of the "Seven Ponds" of the "Botanic Gardens;" capturing the infinitesimal beauty of the Promenade Gardens; privileged to experience an exquisite aesthetic cultural phenomenon depicted in the African Heritage Museum's sculptural display, all add to the beauty of the work! To this we added "A Dash of Mash" 2015 and 2016. Then there is the New York celebration and representation at the International Friendship Day Festival celebrated in Brooklyn, New York (2014, 2015). In addition to contemporary private and governmental architecture decorating the Georgetown skyline as well as the magnificent 2016 "Flag Raising" and spectacular images from the New York "March For Granger" parade in Brooklyn, New York, to Brooklyn Boro Hall Celebration of 49 years of Guyanese independence, these images add tremendously to the colorful balance of the work. Ever thought of fathoming the intellectual fortitude, visionary leadership and heartfelt commitment of the founding President of the Cooperative Republic L.F.S. Burnham? Well, a significant number of his titles are pictured! The author even pokes fun at the outgoing President and Home Affairs Minister while he praises a courageous and consistent columnist who dared, for the longest, to speak truth to and about power! Last but certainly not least, praise is given the wonderful Curator and exhibit of the African Heritage Museum for promoting and sustaining the wonderful African cultural experience when such a bold task was indeed a significant challenge. However, while this work showcases the picturesque beauty of Guyana whose "Waters" are legendary, the personable, jovial and determined manner in which the New York revelers at the parade sang "Not a Blade of Grass" was serious and determined while the "Second Kiddie Parade in 2016 Mash" reiterated in picturesque display several lines from the famous song. The military parade display at Durban Park, 23, 2016 sends a clear and resounding message to those with mal-intent who threaten Guyana sovereignty and territorial integrity. sumonpublishers.com @sumonpublishers.com [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Download or read book Liminal Spaces Migration and Women of the Guyanese Diaspora written by Grace Aneiza Ali and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liminal Spaces is an intimate exploration into the migration narratives of fifteen women of Guyanese heritage. It spans diverse inter-generational perspectives – from those who leave Guyana, and those who are left – and seven seminal decades of Guyana’s history – from the 1950s to the present day – bringing the voices of women to the fore. The volume is conceived of as a visual exhibition on the page; a four-part journey navigating the contributors’ essays and artworks, allowing the reader to trace the migration path of Guyanese women from their moment of departure, to their arrival on diasporic soils, to their reunion with Guyana. Eloquent and visually stunning, Liminal Spaces unpacks the global realities of migration, challenging and disrupting dominant narratives associated with Guyana, its colonial past, and its post-colonial present as a ‘disappearing nation’. Multimodal in approach, the volume combines memoir, creative non-fiction, poetry, photography, art and curatorial essays to collectively examine the mutable notion of ‘homeland’, and grapple with ideas of place and accountability. This volume is a welcome contribution to the scholarly field of international migration, transnationalism, and diaspora, both in its creative methodological approach, and in its subject area – as one of the only studies published on Guyanese diaspora. It will be of great interest to those studying women and migration, and scholars and students of diaspora studies. Grace Aneiza Ali is a Curator and an Assistant Professor and Provost Fellow in the Department of Art & Public Policy, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. Her curatorial research practice centers on socially engaged art practices, global contemporary art, and art of the Caribbean Diaspora, with a focus on her homeland Guyana.
Download or read book The Cultural and Political History of Guyana written by Ivan A. Ross and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Indigenous people, enslaved Africans, indentured Portuguese, Chinese, and Indian laborers provides an in-depth view of the evolution of the Guyanese people. It provides evidence of their strong cultural identity and reveals their ambitions, sense of direction, and perseverance to strive for well-being and happiness in the best possible life. A chain of events began in 1953 when British Guiana elected its first native-born leader, Dr. Cheddi Jagan. The British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, suspended British Guiana’s Constitution, ordered the dissolution of the Government, and imprisonment of the elected leader, his wife, and members of his cabinet as they were not compatible to Churchill’s taste. The United States of America had difficulty appreciating how different forms of government and economic systems are applied in different countries. In 1961, President John F Kennedy ordered his Central Intelligence Agency to subvert the elected leader of British Guiana. The leader fell and the CIA’s men, accomplishing their task, moved on to another. Thirty years later, the fallen leader was again democratically elected to lead his country. President Kennedy’s ruthless subversion of democracy became the policy for subsequent elections of using the divisive concept of racial and ethnic segregations. The racial and ethnic prejudices have affected the distribution of power, opportunity, and wealth and creating enduring social stratifications. The children became adults with a poor understanding of how imperialism, the ancestral slaves and indentured laborers influenced their lives and their country, and the powerful and lasting effects they have.
