Book excerpt: Rupununi Savannas of Guyana: A Visual Journey is a book for all readers with an interest in Guyana. The book is essentially a photojournal of the southwestern part of the country that borders its neighbour Brazil. See the story of the land, the people, their everyday life, and the flora and fauna captured in over 100 photographs of this scenic part of Guyana. The book is divided into ten chapters that include photographs and text capturing: . Rock carvings; . The majestic three-peaked Shiriri mountain, a landmark in the South Rupununi; . Shea Rock (a smaller version of Ayers Rock in Australia); . The Kanuku mountains that divide the area between the North Rupununi and South Rupununi; . Giant ant hills, some almost twice the size of an adult person; . The curatella or sandbox trees (known locally as kai n'bay); . Everyday life; . School and church activities; . Means of transportation - old and new; . Vacqueros or cowboys in action; . Preserving beef into tasso; . Making food from the poisonous bitter cassava; . Rocks and minerals; and . Village scenes. Depicting the essence of the area, this book brings out a vivid and visual journey throughout this grassland region of Guyana. The author, Lal Balkaran, has done it again. Since his well-received Dictionary of the Guyanese Amerindians and Other South American Native Terms came out in 2002, two other books have followed. Always coming out with a unique publication on his native Guyana and on other subjects (he did the world's first dictionary of auditing published by LexisNexis in Toronto), here is his fourth on the country. What is of special significance is that he knows the area quite well as he once lived there for over five years and travelled back to arrange the capture of the scenes contained in this book. For those who have visited the Rupununi or lived there before, this book is a spectacular album of memories. For others in general and Guyanese in particular who have not had the opportunity of seeing this savanna country, the book is a tour of a lifetime."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Guyana's racialized geography, Amerindians live in scattered villages in the vast hinterland which makes up 90 per cent of the landmass. Amerindian iconography is appropriated in State-making even while Amerindians themselves are consigned to a patron-client relationship with the dominant 'coastlander' society. In the late 1950s, Amerindians made up only 4 per cent of the national population but voted as a bloc in the national elections of 1957, 1961 and 1964, rallying around Stephen Campbell, the first Amerindian member of the Legislature. Their unified position allowed their political leaders to negotiate a commitment to the settlement of Amerindian land claims as a condition of Independence in 1966. After losing its parliamentary majority in 2011, the coastlander-based party-in-power has been working to disrupt cohesion between Amerindian community leaders. The Government uses donor funds to reward community leaders who will sign pre-prepared resolutions at the statutory National Toshaos Council meetings and denies funds to leaders and communities which protest government neglect and mis-management of the traditional areas claimed by the indigenous peoples.

Tamdgidi and published by Ahead Publishing House (imprint: Okcir Press). This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Fall 2009 (VII, 4) issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge entitled “Migrating Identities and Perspectives: Latin America and the Caribbean in Local and Global Contexts,” focuses on the complexity of identity formations experienced by migrants in the world-system, with a regional focus on Latin America and the Caribbean which have been at the heart of many recent scholarly debates in migration studies and the subsequent emergence of transnationalism. The collection can be therefore understood as an attempt to establish an intellectual dialogue between different academic disciplines, as well as theoretical perspectives. Among the various themes of this issue is the importance of context, as illustrated through the use of comparisons, and the application to the domestic migration context of theoretical approaches commonly used to explain international migration. Another theme that emerges among these papers is that of integration, or in the case of deportees—a very specific group of immigrants—reintegration. A crucial aspect of incorporation is identity formation, often central to migration research and highlighted in a variety of ways in the papers. Contributors include: Terry-Ann Jones (also as journal issue guest editor), Eric Mielants (also as journal issue guest editor), Per Unheim, David Carment, Carlo Dade, Dwaine Plaza, Cédric Audebert, Heike Drotbohm, and Mohammad H. Tamdgidi (also as journal editor-in-chief). Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge is a publication of OKCIR: The Omar Khayyam Center for Integrative Research in Utopia, Mysticism, and Science (Utopystics).
