Book Synopsis
Drawing on oral histories and a close study of daily life in rural Guyana, the author chronicles the complex struggles of the citizens of Guyana to form a unified national culture against the pulls of ethnic, racial, religious, and class identities.

Trade Review
“This is the best work of Caribbean ethnography to appear in a very long time: it addresses the most important issues of current anthropology with a deep understanding of the way in which nationalism, state formation, racial and ‘ethnic’ conflict operate at the level of everyday practice. . . . A welcome addition to anthropological literature generally and to Caribbean Studies in particular.”—Raymond T. Smith, University of Chicago
