USA: New York: Tragedy in Little Guyana – By: Dhanpaul Narine
By Dhanpaul Narine
In one week, five Guyanese died in Queens, New York City. It was a beautiful Friday morning when five friends boarded the Q41 bus. They were in a good mood, as their yearly exams were done. The start of the summer promised fun-filled activities. The friends stopped at Jamaica Bay, in Queens, New York.
It is an area that is known for its treacherous currents. According to reports, around midday, two friends, each aged 13, went into the water, near Broad Channel.

GUYANA: Tension at a time of social and economic transformation; A perspective from the Diaspora -By Lear Matthews
Lear Matthews
– By Lear Matthews
Tensions between the Diaspora and Guyana, the home country, namely, the governing administration and civil society is occasionally discussed, but not seriously addressed. We need to examine the cause, impact and consequences of tension as the nation enters an unprecedented phase of nation building.
The genesis of tension I believe, centers around circumstances and patterns of departure from the home country, as well as misunderstanding of intent, distrust, false assumptions, and the post-immigration continuation of ethnic cleavage. Tension and disharmony, nourished by a tradition of ethnic mistrust seemed to have “spilled over” into the Diaspora, perpetuated by ethnic enclaves. Continue reading →
