The South American Caribbean whose Indo-African creole culture brought the richest ethnic mosaic in the Western Hemisphere to American shores.
Guyanese Americans — the extraordinarily diverse diaspora from the only English-speaking nation in South America whose Afro-Guyanese, Indo-Guyanese, Amerindian, Chinese, Portuguese, and mixed-heritage communities reflect the full complexity of a colonial sugar economy that imported enslaved Africans and indentured laborers from the Indian subcontinent to work the coastal plantations of the Demerara and Berbice rivers, creating a society of remarkable ethnic plurality and persistent communal tension that the Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan political era channeled into competing Afro-Creole and Indo-Guyanese nationalisms, and whose large diaspora communities in Brooklyn's Flatbush and Richmond Hill neighborhoods brought to New York the curry and roti of the Indo-Caribbean kitchen, the steelband and chutney soca of the Caribbean musical tradition, and the resilient entrepreneurial spirit of a people accustomed to building community under conditions of scarcity and political uncertainty. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that richly layered legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
