#Guyana It's a unique position to educate many around the Globe about Guyana, due to many being unfamiliar, being a representation of what it embodies. My favorite facts to reiterate are: 🥥Positioning: I am often explaining the unique positioning being in South America, fully South America with the Amazon and Indigenous culture, but part of the Caribbean, and the language mirroring other Caribbean dialects. 🥥Cuisine: Equally Asian-Indian, Carribean, and more, like European influences 🥥Protecting Culture: It's been important to protect and keep alive the Indigenous Culture, which many other Nations were unable to due to a variety of reasons. 🥥Diversity: I am fully Asian-Indian, as I am Caribbean from the West Indies. The main religions are Christian across all ethnicities, in addition the Indian population is Hindu or Muslim. Most grow up with an innate tolerance, acceptance of other's belief system, with very little religious tensions, and everyone enjoys each other's celebrations. I have personally enjoyed being Christian - exclusively, for its inclusivity, deep insight of our World, Heaven, internal depth, integrity and what is to come.

February 16: The Story of the Jamaican People is the first general history of Jamaica to be written in almost 40 years. It differs significantly from earlier “imperial” histories which have been written from the perspective of the coloniser and which have relegated Jamaicans to an inferior and passive role. In this book, the authors offer a new interpretation of Jamaica’s history. The central theme is the long struggle of the African-Jamaican against subjugation, injustice, economic deprivation and the fight for full freedom. Sherlock and Bennett recount the epic resistance to slavery; from the acts of sabotage on the estates, the legendary exploits of Maroon heroes Cudjoe, Nanny and Tacky, to the final blow delivered by Sam Sharpe which ended slavery in Jamaica. An underlying theme throughout the book is the centrality of Africa, the original homeland of the African-Jamaican. The memory of Africa’s ancient civilisations, its diverse tribes, languages, cultures and religions, sustained the African-Jamaican throughout slavery and remains a positive influence on modern-day Jamaican culture. Although the focus of the story is on African-Jamaican, the authors recognise the significant role played by other ethnic groups – East Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, Syrians and Jews – in the development of modern Jamaica. The Story of the Jamaican People is told in a powerfully evocative and poetic style in which the images of creative writers and artists are blended with extensive quotations from anthropological, sociological and historical sources. The book is copiously illustrated and has an extensive bibliographical and reference section as well as a useful index.
