Hard truths… By: GHK Lall
Kaieteur News – Her Excellency, American Ambassador Sarah Ann Lynch has spoken; she could not have spoken more clearly, or with more authority. Ambassador Lynch has praised the Government of Guyana for honouring, abiding by, being obedient to the ironclad dictates of sanctity of contract (SN March 19). Whether I like this or not, there is this fact set in US steel: Ambassador Lynch speaks on behalf of the American Government.
After all the silence, all the subtleties and sophistications, this is to what and where the clashes over this contract stand: the business of America is business. A hundred years ago, Calvin Coolidge reportedly coined that storied, pregnant string of words. He was an American President, not a tiny plenipotentiary. In more recent times, Ronald Reagan and that unmentionable brother who came before the present White House occupant have also signaled American business as the central focuses, thrusts, and priorities of their presidencies.

Dear Professor Gates: RE the Rohlehr family
I am a first-generation American whose family hails from Guyana (and, further back, Germany). My father has a German last name: Rohlehr (pronounced “Rohlair”). I would like to know more about my ancestors in that line who first came to Guyana from either Germany or the Netherlands.
The story goes that during the Bismarck era in Germany, my ancestor Gertrude Rohlehr had seven sons. Six were killed in war, so she sent her remaining son, Swartz, away from Germany to save him. He made his way to New Amsterdam, Guyana, from Holland, where he ended up having two sons, Peter and John, with an unknown African woman. Continue reading

Radical social change is possible. I saw it unfold as a teenager growing up in Guyana, a former British colony caught in the tight grip of the rich and powerful white sugar plantation owners. Such change demands courage, persistence, and self-determination. It means pushing upstream against the flow, ignoring the voices of naysayers, and not succumbing to discouragement and hopelessness when faced with setbacks and defeats. Winifred Gaskin (1916-1977) was a woman who displayed such traits to the fullest measure. |

Kaieteur News – After 53 years of existence as a Republic, Guyana should have so much more to show for that time, so much to be proud about, even boast about, considering our fabulous endowments. In people. In the fruits of the earth, and now of the sea. In the reality of potential and possibilities actually in our hands, in how well we are now positioned. Though I am loathe to acknowledge, after 53 years, we have fallen short of our grand promise, been a huge disappointment. So much given, so little to show for it.
Half of our citizens, however counted, have foreign addresses as their home. The most telling demographic is our youth, the vigorous bloodstream of a polity and people, only for them to live and relive the ancient prejudices and bigotries of their forebears. It is what punishes our social environment, what tampers with our minds, yokes our thinking. We can have all the riches in the world (and we do), but if we do not have the skills and smarts and strengths to make the most expansive (inclusive) use of them, then we are all the poorer for what we have failed to contemplate, prioritize, achieve. We have failed to do so, haven’t we? Continue reading
