    Between a Promise and a Trench: Citizenship, Vulnerability, and Climate Change in Guyana Sarah E. Vaughn Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Sarah E. Vaughn All rights reserved ABSTRACT Between a Promise and a Trench: Citizenship, Vulnerability, and Climate Change in Guyana Sarah E. Vaughn Between a Promise and a Trench examines how science is constituted as a strategic practice and site through which citizens make claims about racial democracy in Guyana. It shows how government policymaking around climate adaptation--which drew upon the recommendations of outside actors, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations (UN), and various NGOs and international scientific networks-- profoundly disrupted the country's delicate racial-ethnic balance. A contribution to the burgeoning anthropology on the social and political impact of climate change, the dissertation also speaks to current debates over race and citizenship, the complex relationship between expertise and democracy, and the competing post-colonial claims of Indo-, Afro-, and Amerindian Guyanese to land and self-determination. The dissertation is based on seventeen months of fieldwork and archival research conducted between, 2009-11 in coastal Guyana. It brings together three conflicting perspectives: of engineers, who drew upon datasets and models about flooding and construction of canals around IPCC and UN climate data; the state officials, who sought to reduce vulnerability to flood hazards through land evictions; and of Indo-, Afro-, and Amerindian Guyanese farmers and squatters who were evicted as a result of post-2005 engineering projects.

  • Meeting Denis – a Mind Engaged —— a Tribute to Denis Williams (1923–1998)1
    Meeting Denis – A Mind Engaged —— A Tribute to Denis Williams (1923–1998)1 STANLEY GREAVES Y FIRST ‘MEETING’ with Denis Williams took place in the British Guiana Museum of the 1940s – destroyed by fire M in 1945, rebuilt before Independence in 1966, and renamed the Guyana Museum. This ‘meeting’ took the form of looking at a small oil painting of a boy. On Saturday mornings I ran errands to Stabroek market for my mother, Priscilla. The museum was equidistant between my home and the market. A visit to my favourite exhibits before doing the errands provided much pleasure. Of particular interest was the small art gallery, where I enjoyed looking at a few paintings and engravings be- cause of my own efforts in drawing. Assuming he was a schoolboy like myself, my identification with the portrait was total. I visited it every time and often wondered what kind of a person the artist Denis Williams was, a question destined to be answered in full about twenty-eight years later. In the intervening period I did learn something about him. I had be- come a member of the Working People’s Art Class (WPAC), which had been founded by Edward Rupert Burrowes in 1948, the same year in which I joined. It was from Burrowes, “Erb” to most of us privately, that I learnt Williams had been a member of the Guyanese Art Group founded in 1931 under the name of the British Guiana Arts and Crafts Society. He 1 My acknowledgements to Elfrieda Bissember, Director and Curator of the National Collection, Guyana; to Robert Cummings, Head of the Burrowes School of Art in Guyana, for providing dates I did not have; to Anne Walmsley, UK, Caribbean researcher, and to Therese Hadchity of Zemicon Gallery, Barbados.

Its content does not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations. GE.19-18019(E) A/HRC/WG.6/35/GUY/1 Introduction 1. Guyana considers the UPR as a beneficial process in engaging with other States to review and constructively assess its progress in recognizing and protecting fundamental rights and freedoms on its domestic plane. To this end, Guyana welcomes the third cycle of UPR and is pleased to present its national report for the period under review. Guyana confirms its continued commitment to this process. 2. Since the presentation of its report to the 2nd UPR, Guyanese have undergone historical political changes including the election of a coalition government immediately following a 23-year rule of the Peoples Progressive Party/Civic political party. Political history marched on when on 21st December, 2018, the coalition government lost a vote of no-confidence at the 111th sitting of the National Assembly. Having fully employed the judicial system to define the Constitutional requirements as the political system entered unchartered waters, General Elections have now been fixed for 2nd March, 2020. 3. In the midst of the exciting political developments, Guyana has remained firm in its commitment to ensure the continued and progressive enjoyment and protection of citizens’ human rights.
