A third of its population is descended from African slaves imported by the Dutch to work on sugar plantations, about half are the descendants of indentured Indian agricultural workers brought in after slavery was abolished. Persistent tension between these two groups has had a destabilising impact on Guyanese politics and is reflected in hostility between the two main parties, which are ethnically-based."

64. Gender, Culture And Class In Walter Rodney’s Writings On Guyana Rodney also focuses on culture and race in Guyanese society, especially at the In further examining some of the cultural and class conflicts in guyana, http://www.saxakali.com/Saxakali-Publications/moses6.htm

by Dr. Moses Seenarine Introduction A History of the Guyanese Working People, 1881-1905 Gender Contributions How Europe Undeveloped Africa Although Guyana have had many native historians, Rodney is one of the first to discuss the position of African women in Guyanese society after the abolition of slavery. In A History of the Guyanese Working People, 1881-1905 they (women) sought to earn for themselves, but few survived without turning to an employed male relative, a husband, a "child-father" or some such. Little wonder that the women were so vociferous and so active during the riots. They were backing their men, and they were also fighting for themselves and for the reproduction of their families - as they had done before in the 1889 when they attacked the Portuguese retailers (1981:207). After making a careful analysis of the Court records of the 105 people convicted in the 1905 agitation, and another 45 charged and released, Rodney concludes that at least one in every three of the "rioters" was female (1981:205). Rodney also comments on the agency of urban African women like the "Tigress of Tiger Bay," and "Daisy, the centipede Queen," who became known for their independence and resistance to colonial exploitation. Besides urban resistance, he reveals that African women were involved in rural labor struggles as well, on the West and East coast, for example, where women like Dorothy Rice led in Ruimveldt rebellion in 1907 (1981:206-208).

A Fractured Nation The British Creation and Encouragement of Racial, Economic, and Cultural Separation in Guyana by Premi Singh BLPR 101 Professor Seenarine May 18, 2000 As Guyana continues to forge a strong national identity it is frequently noted that it is a nation composed of "six races living together". These six categories are the African, East Indian, Indigenous or Anerindian, Portuguese, "races" were encouraged not to live together and unite. In fact the diversity that existed within the country was used strategically to separate the working people, thus maintaining the dominance of the British colonizers. This policy of divide and conquer" has affected, or has been affected by three main areas: ‘Race’. Economics, and Culture. The fact that the people of Guyana have managed to develop a unique, although often volatile national identity that encompasses all of the different ethnic groups is very much shaped by the history of the colony and the three factors listed above. the Europeans has been accumulating wealth.

You are here allRefer Reference Guyana History ... Guyana Guyana Guyana: The Society and Its Environment Georgetown's public market building THE COMPOSITION OF GUYANESE SOCIETY is a reflection of the country's colonial past. The colony was created by Dutch and British planters who grew sugarcane using the labor of slaves and indentured workers. Ignoring the country's vast interior, the planters constructed dikes and dams that transformed the coast into an arable plain. With the exception of the indigenous Amerindians and a few Europeans, the entire population consisted of imported plantation workers or their descendants. Guyanese culture developed with the adaptation of the forced and voluntary immigrants to the customs of the dominant British. Brought to Guyana as slaves, Africans of diverse backgrounds had been thrown together under conditions that severely constrained their ability to preserve their respective cultural traditions. In adopting Christianity and the values of British colonists, the descendants of the African slaves laid the foundations of today's Afro-Guyanese culture. Arriving later and under somewhat more favorable circumstances, East Indian immigrants were subjected to fewer pressures to assimilate than the Africans had been. As a result, more of their traditional culture was preserved. Although the culture of independent Guyana has become more truly national, the Guyanese people remain divided by ethnic mistrust. The Guyanese elite that has emerged to replace the colonial administration faces the enormous challenge of satisfying the aspirations of the people concerning economic development and educational opportunity.

Indo-Caribbean Life A Comparative Survey By: Bruce Ally From: Polyphony Vol.12, 1990 pp.16-21 In the complex mix of communities that make up the South Asian diaspora in Ontario, the unique historical and cultural experience of Indo-Caribbeans separates them as a particularly distinct group. Bruce Ally describes the changes in situation and experience of recent immigrants from Guyana. Beginning in 1838 more than 600,000 Indians migrated to the Caribbean, including approximately 238,000 to British Guyana. They went as indentured labourers, an alternative work force for the sugar plantations after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. Though their time in the West Indies was meant toj be limited by the contract, Indians who had completed their obligation were allowed to commute their return passages into cash. Many were granted an allotment of land that they could cultivate in addition to their estate work. With time, distinctive Indo-Caribbean communities were established-especially in Trinidad and British Guyana, where the populations were large enough to form a separate identity and community. In Trinidad, Indians eventually constituted about 45 per cent of the population, and in British Guyana they were the majority. The Indian family in Guyana is a very close-knit band of extended lineage, which includes two, three, and often four generations living in close proximity. Elders are still valued highly. Their knowledge is seen as relevant to current situations since culturally the way of life has changed very little through the generations. Very often older family members who are no longer gainfully employed are responsible for looking after pre-schoolers. This reinforces the transfer of values and norms, as most personality theorists agree that the significant personality developments occur before the age of eight. Since parents pass their beliefs on to their children and subsequently to their grandchildren, family values have remained constant, and the possibility of family and personality conflicts have been significantly lessened. It is also quite common for adults to continue in the family business or farm and to seek to pass it on to yet another generation.

Guyana's rich culture has its roots in its colorful history M ashramani, Guyana's most colorful and distinctive festival, takes place on Feb. 23, Republic Day. The name is derived from an Amerindian word meaning "the celebration of a job well done," and 'Mash' as the festival is often called, is a celebration indeed. Guyanese living abroad often arrange their yearly visits to coincide with the weeklong carnival, which incorporates steel band competitions and sporting events. Masquerade bands appear in the streets and in competitions at National Park, performing dance routines that are a vivid reminder of Guyana's African heritage. Traditional masquerade characters include the bouncer like Mad Bull, Mother Sally (a parody of a plantation lady); flouncers, who beg for money using intricate dance moves; and stick-fighters. Calypsos laced with barbed social commentary are an integral part of 'Mash' celebrations, which culminate in the coronation of the king or queen for the year. The Hindu community celebrates the joyous spring festival Phagwah in March/April (the exact date depends on the lunar cycle). Phagwah commemorates the triumph of good over evil and begins with the burning of the symbolic Holika. Hindus traditionally wear white on Phagwah day and, in one of the festival's highlights, celebrants spray each other with abeer, a red dye symbolizing the blood of the tyrannical King Kiranya, who in Hindu lore was ordered to death by his son Prince Prahalad. Hindus and non-Hindus alike shower powder, perfume and water on family, friends and neighbors.

Home Destinations Photo Gallery Maps ... Destinations Guyana Guyana, set in a natural tropical wilderness, is a splendid combination of the Caribbean and South America, with fascinating touches of a sometimes turbulent past. On the northeast corner of the South American continent, Guyana stretches from its 270 mile long Atlantic coastline into dense equatorial forest and the broad Savannah of the Rupununi. Dominated by mighty rivers which provide essential highways into the rainforest and jungles of the interior, where man has made little impact, Guyana is waiting to be explored. The picturesque capital and port of Georgetown , with its modern hotels and traditional wooden buildings lining broad boulevards, stands guard over the Demerara River. The striking architecture reminds us of its strong 18th and 19th century Dutch and British history and is a fascinating introduction to the land of Guyana. Don't miss St. George's Cathedral , reputed to be the world's tallest wooden building. Setting out to explore the natural beauty of the interior by boat, light aircraft or 4 x 4, you encounter the extraordinary natural heritage of Guyana spreading out like a tropical carpet. See jaguar roaming freely in the rainforest and listen to the unearthly cry of howler monkeys echoing through the trees. To discover the beauty of Guyana is to glimpse the flashes of scarlet, yellow and blue as macaws fly like arrows across a clearing in the forest canopy, and toucans and the awesome Harpy Eagle swoop through the trees. These are a few of the more than 700 species of birds that are indigenous to Guyana.
