This classic and groundbreaking study of slavery in Guyana was puzzingly suppressed in its home country when it was first written in 1973. It was eventually published in Guyana in 1998, and this is its first North American edition. This new, expanded, fiftieth anniversary edition features a foreword by Dr. Modibo Kadalie and several new appendices of previously unpublished or unavailable speeches, essays, and interviews with Eusi Kwayana. The Kwayanas document the social and economic impacts of slavery on African people in Guyana. In doing so, they shine the light of truth on the foundations of European imperialism. They also brilliantly document the directly democratic self-organization of post-emancipation Afro-Guyanese villages, which the authors refer to as the Collectivist Revolution.
