Cheddi Jagan and the Politics of Power: British Guiana's Struggle for Independence

Acknowledgments

( Acknowledgments ) I owe a debt of gratitude to the staffs of the various archives who aided me in my research. They include the fine public servants at the Public Record Office, London; the National Archives at College Park, Maryland; the Walter Rodney National Archives in Georgetown, Guyana; and the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre, also in Georgetown. My good friends and colleagues, Franklin W. Knight, Bridget Brereton, and Nicole Burrowes-Casserly read the entire manuscript and provided me with invaluable criticism. This is a much better book because of their careful reading and their thoughtful, candid evaluation. I thank them most heartily and sincerely. Allison Palmer deserves a special commendation. She deciphered my handwriting, typed several drafts of the manuscript, and took a special interest in it as it evolved into a book. I remain in her debt.
