| Summary, etc |
"It is virtually impossible to understand the history of modern Guyana without understanding the role played by Forbes Burnham. Forbes Burnham: The Life and Times of the Comrade Leader is a political biography of the late Premier, Prime Minister, and first Executive President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham. Forbes Burnham held political office for four decades, from 1964 until his death in 1985. Burnham's political trajectory, his charisma, the domination of the party he lead -- the People's National Congress -- and his nationalist and Pan-Africanist philosophy represent a unique perspective from which to understand Guyanese colonial and postcolonial history - a history which is maked by British colonial domination that presided over slavery and indenture. By the time of his death, he had guided British Guiana to independence in 1966, leading to a rechristening of the country from Guiana to Guyana, and had presided over the Co-operative Republic from 1970-1985. This biography of Forbes Burnham is itself the political and cultural history of a country and a people in their struggle and transition from a British colony to a full, independent republic"-- |c Provided by publisher. |
