Guyana needs recording of its contemporary histories by competent writers and historians

Dear Editor, Guyanese are reluctant to record their histories. This is evident, for example, in our failure to document the horrors that occurred during the 1980s when the PNC regime was at its pinnacle of unlawful rule, giving rise to Stabroek News in 1986 when I was a teen at Queen’s College (QC). The article Guyana needs recording of its contemporary histories by competent writers and historians appeared first on Stabroek News.
