Book Synopsis Stolen Hope and Stolen Dreams by : Hanif Gulmahamad
Download or read book Stolen Hope and Stolen Dreams written by Hanif Gulmahamad and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost half of this book, Stolen Hope and Stolen Dreams, is dedicated to explaining power and politics in Guyana especially since independence. This country is now the third poorest nation in Latin America behind Haiti and Nicaragua. This book explains how this came about and who were the major architects of this disaster. A large portion of the country's population has left the place depleting the nation's most critical and important resource which is its human capital. Many Guyanese in the diaspora still have relatives, friends, acquaintances, and other needy folks, etc. in the country who they are supporting via remittances and they are concerned about the state of affairs in the nation. When people visit the land of their birth, they are troubled by, and fearful of, the high crime rate in the country. This is discouraging visitors to the nation. When people don't travel there and spend money, it is further depressing an already poor economy. Things are getting real hard in the nation. Almost one-third of the population live in poverty and it is tough to eke out a living in the country. The sad part about this whole thing is that people are not optimistic about the future. That is why this book is titled: Stolen Hope and Stolen Dreams. People are just not hopeful that things are going to get better. Bad politics and poor governance have contributed mightily to the beggaring and pauperization of this once thriving country which a Guyanese writer once described as a tropical paradise. How did Guyana went from a tropical paradise to being a place from which everybody there wants to leave? Guyana's post-independence politicians are the culprits who caused this disaster. These fellows are a group of bad actors who are not interested in learning from their mistakes. They keep doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. Right now these chaps are expecting a huge windfall from oil discoveries. We shall see if that really materialize. In the meantime, they are just mucking along hoping and waiting. For me, it is sad to see what happened in this country. I love the country a lot but I do not like what is, and has been, going on there. Friends say it is a great place to visit but you can't live there. In a place of such lawlessness, you can never tell what can, or will, happen there if you visit the country. It is certainly not like it used to be. Someone described it as follows: This time na lang time, bai. Very true. Very true indeed. Read this book to get a better understanding of what has happened, and is happening, in Guyana. Would you like to know why everyone is trying to leave Guyana? Who you like to know who engineered this disaster in Guyana? Read this book and you will find out. Even though you no longer live in Guyana and do not ever plan to return there to live, you should be curious with regards to what is going on there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guyanese-American Meredith Johnson is on the career fast track and believes she has achieved the American dream two adorable daughters, a loving husband, Michael, and a high profile job a public relations professional for Partners In Parenting in Rochester, New York. Her life is comfortable, but hectic. As a working mother, she has made some sacrifices to reach her dreams, but at what price? On her way to a business meeting, she learns of the 9/11 tragedies and Meredith decides it's time to re-examine her life and priorities. Meredith discovers that some changes need to be made. Meredith's childhood friend, Phillip Rampersaud has a near fatal accident, while driving on the Atlanta highway. Phillip, who also is Guyanese, decides to reveal his love for Meredith that he has kept secret from her for more than 16 years. Phillip hasn't seen Meredith in years; he has two children and a wife, but his love for Meredith has deepened over the years despite the distance between them. Now Meredith and Phillip must learn to cope with their feelings and "new truths," which may destroy their friendship or cement their love forever. Through months of poignant and heartbreaking e-mails, Meredith and Phillip realize everything isn't always what it seems. On the eve of her 40th birthday, Meredith brings her family to Atlanta for Guyana's Berbice Reunion where things really "heat up" as more secrets are revealed. Now Meredith and Phillip must make tough choices. Can they keep their promise of friendship to each other? Love Begins With Truth is a humorous and sometimes bittersweet love story of two West Indian childhood friends holding onto their special relationship and each other in today's modern world.
Download or read book Wild Coast written by John Gimlette and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are among the least-known places in South America: nine hundred miles of muddy coastline giving way to a forest so dense that even today there are virtually no roads through it; a string of rickety coastal towns situated between the mouths of the Orinoco and Amazon Rivers, where living is so difficult that as many Guianese live abroad as in their homelands; an interior of watery, green anarchy where border disputes are often based on ancient Elizabethan maps, where flora and fauna are still being discovered, where thousands of rivers remain mostly impassable. And under the lens of John Gimlette—brilliantly offbeat, irreverent, and canny—these three small countries are among the most wildly intriguing places on earth. On an expedition that will last three months, he takes us deep into a remarkable world of swamp and jungle, from the hideouts of runaway slaves to the vegetation-strangled remnants of penal colonies and forts, from “Little Paris” to a settlement built around a satellite launch pad. He recounts the complicated, often surprisingly bloody, history of the region—including the infamous 1978 cult suicide at Jonestown—and introduces us to its inhabitants: from the world’s largest ants to fluorescent purple frogs to head-crushing jaguars; from indigenous tribes who still live by sorcery to descendants of African slaves, Dutch conquerors, Hmong refugees, Irish adventurers, and Scottish outlaws; from high-tech pirates to hapless pioneers for whom this stunning, strangely beautiful world (“a sort of X-rated Garden of Eden”) has become home by choice or by force. In Wild Coast, John Gimlette guides us through a fabulously entertaining, eye-opening—and sometimes jaw-dropping—journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After false starts in teaching and social work, Melda Hayley finds her mission in fostering the damaged children of her fellow black settlers in a deeply racist Britain in the 1950s." "But though Melda finds daily uplift in her work, her inner life starts to come apart. Her brother Arnie has married a white woman and his defection from the family and the distress Melda witnesses amongst the children she fosters causes her repressed memories to surface and her own 'buried wounds to weep'." "Melda confronts the cruelties she has suffered as an 'outside child' at the hands of her stepmother. But though the past drives Melda towards breakdown, she finds strengths there too, especially in the memories of the loving, supporting women of the 'yards' of rural Guyana. Then there is Pa who, in his new material security in the USA, discovers a gentle caring side and teaches his children to sing 'in praise of love and children."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visionary masterpiece, tracing a riverboat crew's dreamlike jungle voyage ... 'My new all time favourite book ... A magnificent, breathtaking and terrifying novel.' T sitsi Dangarembga 'An exhilarating experience ... Makes visions real and reality visions ... Genius.' Jamaica Kincaid 'A masterpiece: I love this book for its language, adventure and wisdoms.' Monique Roffey 'Revel in the inviolate, ever-deepening mystery of Wilson Harris's work.' Jeet Thayil 'The Guyanese William Blake . Such poetic intensity.' Angela Carter I dreamt I awoke with one dead seeing eye and one living closed eye ... A crew of men are embarking on a voyage up a turbulent river through the rainforests of Guyana. Their domineering leader, Donne, is the spirit of a conquistador, obsessed with hunting for a mysterious woman and exploiting indigenous people as plantation labour. But their expedition is plagued by tragedies, haunted by drowned ghosts: spectres of the crew themselves, inhabiting a blurred shadowland between life and death. As their journey into the interior - their own hearts of darkness - deepens, it assumes a spiritual dimension, guiding them towards a new destination: the Palace of the Peacock ... A modernist fever dream; prose poem; modern myth; elegy to victims of colonial conquest: Wilson Harris' masterpiece has defied definition for over sixty years, and is reissued for a new generation of readers. 'One of the great originals ... Visionary ... Dazzlingly illuminating.' Guardian 'Amazing ... Masterly ... Near-miraculous.' Observer 'Staggering ... Both brilliant and terrifying.' The Times 'The most inimitable [writer] produced in the English-speaking Caribbean.' Fred D'Aguiar 'Extraordinary ... Courageous and visionary ... It speaks to us in tongues.' Pauline Melville

Download or read book The Guyana Story written by Odeen Ishmael and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 691 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Liminal Spaces: Migration and Women of the Guyanese Diaspora by : Grace Aneiza Ali
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.
Book Synopsis “GUYANA-MY ELDORADO” by : DR FRANK A HANIFF,MD
Download or read book “GUYANA-MY ELDORADO” written by DR FRANK A HANIFF,MD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am seventy-six years of age, have had two heart attacks, and am not really very well. My memory, though, is fine, except sometimes for “names,” but I recall the events as vividly as if they are occurring now. My “Far” passed away on June 10, 2013. Today is Valentine’s Day and I visited my Far twice. Our home on 2665 La Veta Avenue is a mere two minutes away. I have just returned from San Bernardino Community Hospital where I visited a patient, in my capacity as a Muslim chaplain. I am not sure who, if anyone, will ever read this book. It is a chronicle of our wonderful life, but there are many “Cinderella” stories. This is not a masterpiece of the English language, nor is it in any way unique. Writing gave me a great deal of pleasure. I knew I had angels beside me, and at all times, one seraph. We have had much joy, pleasure, excitement, much to wonder about, and much to puzzle over. We have laughed and cried, nearly just as much, sometimes out of pleasure and sometimes out of pain and grief; always, we have “walked with God.” We have made many mistakes—we are only human—and have alienated far too many, but never deliberately nor out of meanness. Those who love us will perhaps forgive, and those who do not may hopefully forget our transgressions, real or imagined, always remembering what Jesus said about “casting stones.” We tried to make a difference and, with the help of God, we did. In as much as this humble effort reflects the insuperable challenges of finding peace and harmony in a small family, I believe it resonates with the pain and suffering inflicted by man on his fellow man, in places like Syria, Central Africa, and the Ukraine, and with more natural disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes, which create no less pain and suffering. As I approach the end of my life, I continue in the Ministry of Healing, in the hope that the solace and comfort I attempt to deliver will not be entirely unselfish. Dr. Frank A. Haniff, MD San Bernardino, CA 92404 February 14, 2014
