Tribute for Janet Jagan
Speech for the late Janet Jagan former President of Guyana at York College. Members of the head table, consul general of Guyana, Mr.Evans, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. We are gathered here today to pay tribute to a great lady, a lady whom I protected while she served as Prime Minister and President of Guyana. I was honored as a member of the Presidential Guards to serve in this capacity. I was selected to join the Presidential Guards after Comrade Cheddi Jagan became President in 1992 and served as one his Bodyguards until his passing in 1997. The P.P.P won a landslide victory at the polls and he became the new president of Guyana, his wife Janet, became first lady. Prime Minister Samuel Hinds was sworn in as president, Janet Jagan became prime minister, after a year, elections were held and Janet won the Presidency. Comrades here in the Diaspora I don't want you to forget as soon as Cheddi was declared winner all hell broke loose, it was former President Jimmy Carter who saved the day. During this time, I witnessed the caring, compassionate and fearlessness of this great woman, Janet Jagan. Every morning before we left for the office of the President, she would give me a bag with President Cheddi's breakfast. She would then drive to the New Guyana Company, home of the Mirror Newspaper, without Bodyguards. As First Lady, she rarely traveled around with president Cheddi, she never liked the spotlight. However, she would accompany comrade Cheddi and the grandchildren, whom she loved dearly to the swimming pool, a car was sent to pick up Kellawan Lall's and Gail Texeira's and many other kids to go along with them. -
A New World Tragedy $13.95
... - Joumey to Nowhere A NEW WORLD TRAGEDY $13.95 Rarely does a book come along which so transcends its apparent subject that the reader is ultimately given something larger, richer, and more revealing than he might initially have imagined. Already published in Eng land to overwhelming acclaim (see back of jacket), Shiva Naipaul’s Journey to Nowhere is such a book — a “power ful, lucid, and beautifully written book” (The Spectator) that is destined to be one of the most controversial works of 1981. In it, this major writer takes us far beyond the events and surface details surrounding the tragedy of Jones town and the People’s Temple —and gives us his remark able, unique perspective on the deadly drama of ideas, environments, and unholy alliances that shaped those events both in Guyana and, even more significantly, in America. Journey to Nowhere is, on one level, a “brilliantly edgy safari” (New Statesman) inside the Third World itself—a place of increasing importance in our lives—and on another, a book about America, about the corrupt and corrupting ideologies and chi-chi politics of the past twenty years that enabled the Reverend Jim Jones and the Temple to flourish and grow powerful in California and Guyana. Drawing on interviews —with former members of the Temple, various officials, and such people as Buckmin ster Fuller, Huey Newton, Clark Kerr, and others —on documents, and most importantly, on his own strong, clear reactions to what he observed, Naipaul examines the Guyana of Forbes Bumham, the CIA stooge turned Third World socialist leader, whose stated ideals of socialism, racial brotherhood, and cooperative agricul tural enterprise coincided so neatly, we learn for the first time, with those of the People’s Temple — ideals that led all too easily to violence and death. -

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijgws.v2n3a2 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.15640/ijgws.v2n3a2 Challenges to Women’s Leadership in Ex-Colonial Societies Ann Marie Bissessar1 Abstract Women have held key leadership positions since the year 3000 BCE. Indeed, one of the earliest Egyptian queens, Ku-baba, ruled in the Mesopotamian City-State of UR around 2500 BCE. However, this trend to place females in key leadership roles did not emerge in the Western World until during World War I when women took on the role as members of the revolutionary governments in countries such Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, and Ireland. By the 1960s there were to be further gains as Sirivamo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka became the world's first female President and in 1974 Isabel Perón of Argentina also assumed a leadership position. Today, there are approximately twenty nine female leaders in twenty nine different countries. Eleven of these female Presidents are in the countries of Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Finland, India, Kosovo, Kyrgystan, Liberia, Lithuania, San Marino and Switzerland. In addition there are three reigning queens in the countries of Denmark, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom. Twelve females also serve as Prime Ministers in the countries of Australia, Bangladesh, Croatia, Germany, Iceland, Mali, Slovakia, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago and in the self-governing territories of Bermuda, Saint Maartin and the Åland Islands. -
Three Ways of Understanding Government Classification of Jonestown Documents
Three Ways to Understand Government Classification of Jonestown Documents Revision of paper given at Religion, Secrecy and Security: Religious Freedom and Privacy in a Global Context An Interdisciplinary Conference at Ohio State University April 2004 Rebecca Moore In 2001 my husband, Fielding McGehee III, and I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice. McGehee and Moore v. U.S. Department of Justice seeks to compel the Justice Department to provide an index—as required by law—to three compact disks of materials the FBI had pulled together from documents collected in Jonestown, Guyana in 1978 and from files generated in the agency’s subsequent investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman Leo J. Ryan. Our interest in Jonestown is both personal and professional, and in that respect I am writing as a participant observer regarding the events of 18 November 1978. I am a participant to the extent that my two sisters and nephew died in Jonestown in the mass murders-suicides which occurred under the direction of Jim Jones and I wish to know how and why. My status as a relative makes me an insider of sorts, with access to survivors of the tragedy, and with stature with government agencies as an interested party. But I am an observer as well, given my training in religious studies and my desire to interpret the events to my academic peers within a scholarly framework. I also wish to write the history of Peoples Temple, the group begun by Jones in Indianapolis which migrated to California and then to Guyana, as accurately and completely as possible. -
