Radical activist, thinker, comrade of Walter Rodney, Andaiye was
one of the Caribbean's most important political voices. For the
first time, her writings are published in one collection. Through
essays, speeches, letters and journal entries, Andaiye's thinking
on the intersections of gender, race, class and power are
profoundly articulated, Caribbean histories emerge, and stories
from a life lived at the barricades are revealed. We learn about
the early years of the Working People's Alliance, the meaning and
impact of the murder of Walter Rodney and the fall of the Grenada
Revolution. Throughout, we bear witness to Andaiye's acute
understanding of politics rooted in communities and the daily lives
of so-called ordinary people. Featuring forewords by Clem
Seecharan, Robin DG Kelley and Honor Ford-Smith, these texts will
become vital tools in our own struggles to 'overturn the power
relations which are embedded in every unequal facet of our lives'.
This book is concerned with the nature of the relationship between
gender, ethnicity and poverty in the context of the external and
internal dynamics of households in Guyana. Using detailed data
collected from male and female respondents in three separate
locations, two urban and one rural, and across two major ethnic
groups, Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese, the authors discuss the
links between gender and race, exploring development issues from a
feminist perspective.

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.
