Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Intimate Guyana Journey is a spellbinding tale of love and legacy with characters as rich and diverse as the landscape. Set in the lush and wild coast of Guyana, An Intimate Guyana Journey is a coming-of-age story about a boy uncovering his roots and discovering his destiny, and an old woman’s quest to make peace with her family. When Vernon’s mother falls gravely ill, he stays with the owner of the plantation where his father works, an old woman named Madeline. While he is with her and as the story progresses, Madeline slowly uncovers her family’s history—an intricate, intimate tale of love and loss—and the truth about her connection to Vernon’s mother. Spanning four generations, roughly a hundred years, from 1873–1972, the story presses upon love’s infinite and healing nature and the power of compassion and understanding.

Book excerpt: Located along the northeast coast of South America, Guyana is the only English-speaking nation on the continent. Most of the country's one million people, the majority of whom are of East Indian, African, or mixed descent, live along the swampy coastal plain in the north. This tropical land of sugar plantations, settled by the Dutch in the early 1600s, received its name from the Indian word Guiana, meaning "land of water." Later a colony of the United Kingdom, it gained independence in the 1970s. Despite the country's fertile land and rich mineral deposits, Guyana is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. Its major exports of sugar, bauxite, and other crops and minerals leave through ports in the capital city of Georgetown. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: Bernie and Yvonne Katchor have been adventuring and exploring for 44 years aboard their sailboats. 'Around the next Bend¿ is the beguiling story of their very favourite, but testing, seven-month journey along the many rivers of Guyana and Venezuela, South America. This daunting expedition, has many difficulties and dangers. They explore as far as 500 kilometres upstream often travelling where few have ever been, meeting many peoples rarely, if ever, visited by Caucasians, certainly not ones arriving on a sailboat. In Venezuela communications with Amerindian tribes was challenging for the couple due to language but in Guyana the Indians spoke perfect English giving access to in depth discussions enabling a full understanding of the complex culture. The vastly diverse flora and fauna when interpreted by these Indians captivates. Katchor believes the unique view of life amongst the Amerindian native peoples should be bought to our world.The author demonstrates a gentle discourse with all they meet and his Australian sense of humour predominates.

Book excerpt: Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 or 1554-1618), was a famed English writer, poet, courtier and explorer. He was responsible for establishing the first English colony in the New World, on June 4, 1584, at Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina. When the settlement failed, the ultimate fate of the colonists was never authoritatively ascertained, and it became known as "The Lost Colony." In December 1581 Raleigh came back to England from Ireland with despatches as his company had been disbanded. He took part in Court life and became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth. Raleigh is generally considered one of the foremost poets of the Elizabethan era. His poetry is generally written in the relatively straightforward, unornamented mode known as the plain style.

Book excerpt: This book provides a brief account of the original people of British Guiana (now Guyana), the plantations of European planters, political development from the 1940s to present day and, most importantly, the imminent emergence of Guyana as an oil-producing country. Information is provided on slave workers from Africa and the abolition of slavery, followed by workers from other countries and ultimately the arrival of indentured workers from India. The brutal system of slavery was equally applied to the workers from India. The brutality was exposed by a three-member team from England and those responsible were prosecuted. Information is provided regarding the territorial claims by neighbouring countries. A fairly detailed account is given about the politics dominated by the two major races: Afro Guyanese and East Indians. They together fought the general elections in 1953, but from 1957 they fought elections separately since when the PPP under Dr Jagan won all the elections until 1961. With covert assistance from the US to remove Dr Jagan and the US pressure on Britain proportional representation was introduced and Dr Jagan and his party were replaced by LFS Burnham as prime minister under a coalition government, supported by Peter D'Aguiar. All the general elections since 1968 were massively rigged until 1985. However the PPP under Dr Jagan returned to power in 1992 under fair and free elections. The PPP held on to power under different leaders until 2015 when it was replaced by a coalition of opposition parties headed by David Granger. There was a massive oil discovery in offshore Guyana in 2015 and production is due to commence in December 2019. The windfall from oil is likely to transform Guyana from rags to riches, assuming Guyana does not suffer from "resource curse" or the "Dutch disease". David Granger's government has been defeated in a no confidence motion (NCM) since December 2018 and general elections should have been held on or before 18 March 2019. He challenged the NCM on a spurious ground that a figure of 33 votes is not the majority of 65. Obviously, he was unsuccessful, and his unilateral appointment of the chairman to GECOM (the election body) was held to be unconstitutional. The ABE diplomats criticised Granger for not setting a date for the general elections. A week later he reluctantly set the date for 2 March 2020.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated lawyer and businessman Moses V. Rambarran, Esq. shares an elucidating discourse about the oil industry in Guyana - focusing on how the profits haven't translated to the improvement of the population's quality of life. Moses V. Rambarran earned a Master of Laws specializing in Oil and Gas - he's also committedly close to his family and roots in Guyana. His debut nonfiction hinges on his education and passion to make a contribution to improve the lives of people, especially in his home country Guyana by creating and documenting commentaries, insights, guidance which can fuel discussion around the corruption and examine the reasons for failure surrounding the oil industry in Guyana by providing comparisons with other oil producing countries. Despite Guyana rapidly developing as a rich-oil producing country, the citizens remain impoverished, according to Rambarran's research. Unfortunately, the standard of living of the Guyanese is not improving as expected or anticipated with the increase of oil production. Rambarran's research and experience has found that corruption is a major obstacle and the redistribution of wealth has become both unfair and unacceptable. Says Rambarran of the situation, "Change is necessary. I advocate for sensible, internationally-acceptable standards, governance methods, and a governance legislative framework to be established, enacted into law, and enforced." In Guyana's Oil Discovery - Pros & Pitfalls, Rambarran exposes the Guyanese government's weaknesses surrounding oil exploration and production, the discrimination against the poor and impoverished citizens, and the corruption that rewards family, friends, and favorites of the highest political leaders in the country. The significantly meaningful message in Guyana's Oil Discovery - Pros & Pitfalls is for all age groups. It especially will motivate and inspire political, civil society and business professionals and enthusiasts. This informative analysis of current Guyanese and Global petroleum, transparency, accountability, and corruption issues is also presented as an easily accessible source of inspiration for students and youths to read and draw their own conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guyana StoryFrom Earliest Times to Independence traces the countrys history from thousands of years ago when the first Amerindian groups began to settle on the Guyana territory. It examines the period of early European exploration leading to Dutch colonization, the forcible introduction of African slaves to work on cotton and sugar plantations, the effects of European wars, and the final ceding of the territory to the British who ruled it as their colony until they finally granted it independence in 1966. The book also tells of Indian, Chinese, and Portuguese indentured immigration and shows how the cultural interrelationships among the various ethnic groups introduced newer forms of conflict, but also brought about cooperation in the struggles of the workers for better working and living conditions. The final part describes the roles of the political leaders who arose from among these ethnic groups from the late 1940s and began the political struggle against colonialism and the demand for independence. This struggle led to political turbulence in the 1950s and early 1960s when the country was caught in the crosshairs of the cold war resulting in joint British-American devious actions that undermined a democratically elected pro-socialist government and deliberately delayed independence for the country until a government friendly to their international interests came to power.
