Guyana, a former British colony, obtained independence in 1966,
following the collapse of a multi-racial nationalist movement and
instability fomented by the US and UK governments. Standard
political economy and historical analyses of post-independence
Guyana tend to focus on the period of authoritarian rule under the
People's National Congress party, and the introduction of an
IMF-supervised economic recovery programme. The analyses rarely go
beyond the return to formal electoral democracy in 1992. Unmasking
the State fills a critical gap in our understanding of the last
three decades of Guyanese political, economic, social and cultural
life under the People's Progressive Party in the context of
evolving regional and global geopolitical realities. It offers a
detailed and nuanced examination of the post-1992 period, within a
larger context where historical divisions, persistent attempts to
tinker with and reinterpret the defective 1980 constitution, and
systemic and institutional failures have produced waves of
authoritarianism and corruption. It includes a stimulating range
and diversity of perspectives from academics and activists,
multidisciplinary in their engagement of history, politics,
anthropology, economics, feminist, queer, Indigenous and
environmental studies.
