53 From the Margins of History_ To Multiracial Equality in Guyana MM 1 of 3)
Original Post and Description:
From the Margins of History: To Multiracial Equality in Guyana
Comment: This is an interview of an academician who provides a historical analysis (involving economics, politics, anthropology, and sociology) of the interethnic nature of Guyana. The professor, Wazir Muhamed, describes the introduction of a Portuguese population as a buffer ethnic group amongst Europeans and Africans (comparable to the 3 ethnic categories in South Africa); as well as the implementation of indentured servitude and marginalisation as a means of producing inexpensive agriculture. Wazir introduces the history of Indians within Guyana, and utilises the aggregate of this historical analysis as a means of better understanding contemporary interethnic strife within Guyana, and to improve these interethnic relations.

1918 STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF GUYANA
Guyanese writer Sir Wilson Harris Died at 96
Sir Theodore Wilson Harris was born on 24 March 1921 and died on 8 March 2018. He was a Guyanese writer. He initially wrote poetry, but has since become a well-known novelist and essayist. His writing style is often said to be abstract and densely metaphorical, and his subject matter wide-ranging. Harris is considered one of the most original and innovative voices in postwar literature in English. Harris also writes non-fiction and critical essays and has been awarded honorary doctorates by several universities, including the University of the West Indies 1984 and the University of Liège 2001. He has twice won the Guyana Prize for Literature. Harris was knighted in June 2010 during the Queen Elizabeth II Birthday Honours. In 2014, Sir Wilson Harris won a Lifetime Achievement Prize from the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards. He died at 86 years old.
