| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article explores the tactics and rhetoric of Cheddi Jagan of the People's Progressive Party and Forbes Burnham of the People's National Congress in the negotiations and events leading to the independence of Guyana. It looks at the role of the colonial government and at President Kennedy, the CIA and American intervention. Burnham out-manoeuvred his rival to win the 'prize' of independence. Guyana remains a poor and racially polarized country. |
