解説

Concentrating on the decade after the end of indentureship in 1919, this book shows how the opportunity for Indian farmers to turn British Guiana into the rice-bowl of the Caribbean and to break the sugar monoculture was missed through planter opposition and governmental obstinacy. Nevertheless it was a period when an entrepenuerial and educated middle class emerged which was a key factor in the colony's future. The text is about possibilities. It celebrates the Indian Guyananese achievement and charts a histiography of hope in the Caribbean.
