The Guyana Story – From Earliest Times to Independence by Odeen Ishmael
Author Odeen Ishmael Pens Guyana History and its Rich Heritage
New book follows the Guyana history from the period of European colonization to its attainment of independence
By knowing about the past, people will be in a better position to understand and appreciate the present. Author Odeen Ishmael presents the progression of Guyana history and development through his valuable publication, The Guyana Story. It features the earliest times to Independence, tracing the country’s history from thousands of years ago when the first Amerindian groups began their settlement in the Guyana territory.
The book examines the period of early European exploration leading to Dutch colonization and the forcible introduction of African slaves to work on cotton and sugar plantations. It also scrutinizes the effects of European wars, and the final ceding of the territory to the British who ruled it as their colony until they finally granted it independence in 1966.

i would love to read your book to see and understand how much i might have miss as a child when i was growing up where is your book sold send and let me know
Any book published by Guyanese on the country named Guyana, would make some of us happy as we imbibe the history of our past,present and future. I recently came across a book at the Piarco Int Airport book stand entitled” The Challenges of Public Health in the 21st Century. and I was really taken aback by the historical and Political content of the book, authored by one Dr. Balkaran Shivnauth,MD.MPH, a Kellogg Fellow. I too will like to know where the book is available.
