    CONTENTS MESSAGES ARTISTIC VISION BACKGROUND ELEMENTS OF THE FESTIVAL MAIN VENUES ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ACCOMMODATION ACCREDITATION CULINARY ARTS DANCE DRAMA FASHION FILM LITERARY ARTS MUSIC PHILATELIC ARTS SECURITY SYMPOSIA TRANSPORTATION VISUAL ARTS YOUTH VILLAGE FORMS APPENDICES PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA) was born in Guyana many years ago. As the festival comes home, we welcome the opportunity to host and to embrace the artists, great creators and minds of the region as we did thirty six years ago. We are sparing no effort in preparing for this festival. Several hundred persons have been working over a long period of time on committees and working groups in order to ensure that all your expectations are met once you and your contingents arrive in our country. This underscores not only the importance we attach to this festival but to the ideal of Caribbean unity, growth and prosperity. Art transcends all barriers of time, space and person. Artists look beyond the externalities of the common and obvious, toward something greater in all humans, toward something larger than all humans. CARIFESTA therefore offers us the opportunity of transcending those things which can blind, limit and divide us as people, as nations and as a region. This festival offers us the opportunity to assess where we are, where we want to go and to fashion that direction in no uncertain terms. CARIFESTA X offers our region a chance to see what we are and what we produce, and to showcase that creativity to ourselves and the world. At this very important juncture in global economic history we must own what we originate and support those who create.

    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.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.
