Reviews
Willful blindness, in the common sense not the legal one, is a human artifice to filter perception to meet evolution and survival requirements. In this desperate drive, we can select a racist or ethnic path as Guyana has done, inflicting much self-wounding. Yet ascription of blame for a cloaked racism is also owned by global powers/institutions that live in a deeply embedded European tribalism. This invisible superiority engendered over a recent 500 years of global subjugation wounds Guyana too without any apology or awareness for its willful blindness. There is no need to continue variations of the blame game as any serious concern for human survival recedes before us.-M. Bissoon Mahadeo Bissoon's book Guyana: For the Making or the Taking? opens the way for ventures into self-sufficiency, poverty removal, meaningful employment and green sustainable development. He points out opportunities available in the full use of the physical environment in agro-processing and light manufacturing. The author made sound and informed suggestions for harvesting the natural environment. The removal of barriers in Guyanese society will open up new ventures for successful living and steady economic growth.-Peter Jailall, author of Jottings and Sacrifice.
