Описание: Every year on the Friday before Labor Day, Guyanese from all over the world convene in Brooklyn, New York, to celebrate the accidental tradition of Come to My Kwe-Kwe and to connect or reconnect with other Guyanese. Since the fall of 2005, they have celebrated Come to My Kwe-Kwe (more recently, Kwe-Kwe Night), a reenactment of a uniquely African Guyanese prewedding ritual called kweh-kweh, also known as karkalay, mayan, kweh-keh, or pele. Come to My Kwe-Kwe has increasingly become a symbol of African Guyaneseness. In this volume, Rediasporization: African Guyanese Kwe-Kwe, Gillian Richards-Greaves examines the role of Come to My Kwe-Kwe in the construction of a secondary African Guyanese diaspora (a rediasporization) in New York City. She explores how African Guyanese in the United States draw on the ritual to articulate their tripartite cultural identities: African, Guyanese, and American. This work also investigates the factors that affect African Guyanese perceptions of their racial and gendered selves, and how these perceptions, in turn, impact their engagement with African-influenced cultural performances like Come to My Kwe-Kwe. This work demonstrates how the malleability of this celebration allows African Guyanese to negotiate, highlight, conceal, and even sometimes reject complex, shifting, overlapping, and contextual identities. Ultimately, this work explores how these performances in the United States facilitate African Guyanese transformation from an imagined community to a tangible community.
Описание: Traces the life of Albert Raymond Forbes Webber (1880-1932), a distinguished Caribbean scholar, statesman, legislator, and novelist. Using Webber as a lens, the book outlines the Guyanese struggle for justice and equality in an age of colonialism, imperialism, and indentureship.

Описание: Liminal Spaces is an intimate exploration into the migration narratives of fifteen women of Guyanese heritage. It spans diverse inter-generational perspectives - from those who leave Guyana, and those who are left - and seven seminal decades of Guyana's history - from the 1950s to the present day - bringing the voices of women to the fore. The volume is conceived of as a visual exhibition on the page; a four-part journey navigating the contributors' essays and artworks, allowing the reader to trace the migration path of Guyanese women from their moment of departure, to their arrival on diasporic soils, to their reunion with Guyana.
Eloquent and visually stunning, Liminal Spaces unpacks the global realities of migration, challenging and disrupting dominant narratives associated with Guyana, its colonial past, and its post-colonial present as a 'disappearing nation'. Multimodal in approach, the volume combines memoir, creative non-fiction, poetry, photography, art and curatorial essays to collectively examine the mutable notion of 'homeland', and grapple with ideas of place and accountability.
This volume is a welcome contribution to the scholarly field of international migration, transnationalism, and diaspora, both in its creative methodological approach, and in its subject area - as one of the only studies published on Guyanese diaspora. It will be of great interest to those studying women and migration, and scholars and students of diaspora studies.
