Description

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.
