From Colonialism to Cooperative Republic: Aspects of Political Development in Guyana

Lutchman, Harold Alexander, From Colonialism to Cooperative Republic: Aspects of Political Development in Guyana, Rio Piedras: Institute of Caribbean Studies, 1974.

From the Preface:

…an attempt is made to describe and analyse the movement relating to the Co-operative Republic, and some of the problems which evolved, and seem likely to evolve not only for Guyana but for her counterparts of the Commonwealth Caribbean. To a great extent the parts of the study dealing with the period up to 1931 are based on the author’s Ph.D. thesis done at the University of Manchester entitled “Middle Class Colonial Politics: A Study of Guyana with Special Reference to the Period 1920 – 1931.” However, in addition to revisions in the thesis material the author has expanded the work so that developments to Independence in 1966, and during the first decade thereafter, are reflected.
