Europe’s Migrant crisis: Tensions rise as Balkan path blocked

Top 10 origins of people applying for asylum in the EU

BBC News – 19 October 2015 –– Tensions are building among thousands of migrants heading north through Balkan states as their route to Western Europe is stalled by new controls.

Croatia had asked its northern neighbour Slovenia to accept 5,000 migrants daily, but Slovenia said it would only take half that number.  The move has led to a build-up of people on Croatia’s border with Serbia.   Continue reading →

Boys will be boys – hopefully! – By Dennis Nichols ‘Countryman’

10/19/2015 – 12:06 am

Boys at play

This land, my Guyana El Dorado, has produced several outstanding citizens over the years – men and women of great substance. Men looked and acted like men; women like women. The distinction seemed clear, and men in particular generally took a great deal of pride in tastefully expressing their manliness. Now, a number of numbing questions are arising as to our understanding and appreciation of gender and human sexuality.

Is the male population dwindling in Guyana; and in the world? Are male-female gender distinctions becoming more blurred by the day? What does it mean to be truly one or the other, and is that even a valid question? The answer to the first one is a simple ‘No’ although many people may be inclined to disagree; however the answers to the others are not so unambiguous, and may help determine the truth of the first.    Continue reading →

VENEZUELA – Letter to the editor – By Eusi Kwayana

VENEZUELA – Letter to the editor – By Eusi Kwayana

Dear Editor,

A situation fraught with danger arose in the Southern Caribbean when the Venezuelan government in its May decree sought to violate Guyana’s territorial integrity and by marshalling troops on our border sought to subdue us by intimidation. This crude adoption by reflex of the colonizers’ tactics is all the more regrettable on wider considerations as it suggests a decline in quality at the leadership of the Bolivarian revolution.

There is other, less established but persuasive evidence that elements of both the Venezuelan military and civilian leaderships have spoken disrespectfully  of the Guyanese population in terms of  their  religion  and  their colour.   Continue reading →

Blue Sky for Black America – By Rosaliene Bacchus

Three Worlds One Vision

Book Cover - Blue Sky for Black America by Jesse Rhines

Book Cover: Blue Sky for Black America:
100 Years of Colored People in Western Utopian Literature
by Jesse Rhines Ph.D

The book, Blue Sky for Black America: 100 Years of Colored People in Western Utopian Literature, captured my interest as a lover of science fiction. Based on his early experience as an IBM Systems Engineer Trainee, the author Jesse Rhines applies IBM’s “blue sky” utopian approach to formulating its hundred-year projection in addressing urban hopelessness among underclass Black youth. He argues that hopelessness, a future oriented condition, requires a future oriented solution.

To facilitate this process, Rhines analyzes one hundred years of Western Utopian literature featuring Black Americans. Beginning with the pre-World War II period, he examines two classic futuristic novels by Edward Bellamy and Aldous Huxley. Blacks remain servants and are depicted as backwards, uncivilized, and rapists.
