History and International Relations

HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IN THE GUYANA REGION

in the Guyana Region

This is an indispensable source on the most remote and lightly

populated part of South America, the transborder region between
the Guayanas, Suriname, Brazil and Venezuela. A key geopolitical and
transborder space, it is one that evinces unique ecological, ethnic
and security challenges. This careful study opens with a focus upon
the youngest independent country in South America, Suriname. The
following chapters offer penetrating insights into the promise
and vagaries of border politics, international relations, the unique
colonial status of French Guayana, transborder integration and
representation, Haitian migration patterns in the region, Amerindian
protectives, and the politics of ecology in a remote, transborder
region. This is, as the editor, Paulo Gustavo Pellegrino Correa and
Iuri Cavlak, avers, a « turbulent moment» in Amazonia: the Covid-19
pandemic, the resultant intensification of poverty, and the continuing
educational and medical-scientific shortfalls in this remote region cry
out for critical analysis. This book answers the call.
