This book traces the creation of ethnic groups in nineteenth century Guyana and its ultimate impact on the colony's political consituencies as it moved to independence. The construction of the nation in the postcolonial period is approached through an analysis of cricket, trade unions and women traders in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The author argues that ethnicity as a historical relationship can be understood as a social experience if it is viewed as part of a set of overlapping identities which include class and gender. It also contends that ethnicity in Guyana was created in colonial times and deployed as a tool for dominance which has reconfigured itself to function effectively in postcolonial times.
