How Guyana Was Made

[@AlexRothman]

*Note: A very conscientious viewer has reached out to bring to my attention some important context around the 1964 attack on Wismar that I was unaware of. That attack appears to be a response to the earlier bombing of the Son Chapman ferry in which approximately forty people were killed (I've read different numbers), mostly Afro-Guyanese. My video does not make it sufficiently clear that this was part of a cycle of violence in which both Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese played their parts in escalating. Apologies for any offence caused.

[@FirstnameSurname738]

I really don't mean this in a bad way, but are you Jewish? I'm asking because I was curious about your name.

[@jagbudhai3210]

It is good to state a disclaimer when making content regarding these dark times in Guyana's history, especially since there is so much misinformation, and both sides blame each other. The stories I heard are very different from what you just stated. Also, there are documents suggesting that the explosion was caused by stolen detonators " These detonators, as the good Mayor (Mr. Hamilton Green) must undoubtedly remember, were bound for PNC operatives in the Mackenzie-Wismar-Christianburg area for use in X-13 operations against perceived PPP supporters." Additionally, "in a recent article (GC, June 4th , 2003) Mayor Hamilton Green stated that the “Sun Chapman”, a river launch owned and operated by Norman Yacoob Chapman, was blown out of the water at Hurudaia, near Wismar, on July 6, 1964, and that this incident led to the Pogrom against Indo-Guyanese living in Wismar." www.guyanaundersiege.com/History/wismar/Sunchapman.htm

[@vedanandnarain9956]

Your Conscientious viewer is a LIAR, trying to justify the murder, rape ,looting and arson of Indian Guyanese in Wismar, Guyana ; as a response to the "bomb blast " aboard the SON Chapman in which African Guyanese were killed. FACT : Wismar massacre took place on 25 and 26th of May, 1966 Son Chapman explosion took place on 6th of July 1964. Your conscientious viewer deliberately Misinformed you about the dates of these tragic events, to justify the evil, cruel and horrible Wismar massacre and rapes. Cunning Burnham also set the date 26th May as our independence day to further humiliate the Indian Guyanese. Sad thing the British army and Police deliberately delayed acting early enough, probably from instructions higher up.

[@charlessampson1119]

Mr Alex Rothman , your opinion relative to what happened during 1964 at Linden is inaccurate. During what is considered as the disturbances in 1964 when many properties were burnt down, this happened a long time before the Son Chapman massacre. During the disturbances one Indo Guyanese friend of mine died after being trapped in his property in then VALLEY OF TEARS. When police arrived at his he walked out of the Valley with them but subsequently died probably at the hospital. After what happened during the disturbances things returned to normalcy in the community. Many Indo Guyanese residents living on the Mackenzie side did not run out of the community. That is clear when you look at what happened after the Son Chapman massacre. About three Indo Guyanese going about their normal activities on the Mackenzie side were killed when the news reached the community.There have been many threats from certain politicians to take revenge on the people of Linden after the disturbances and they succeeded with the Son Chapman massacre. I have always said that if the people on the Wismar side wanted to kill their Indo Guyanese neighbours, scores of them would have died. I always praise my deceased mother for housing about thirty of them in our house and then safely leading them to the RH CARR for the journey out of the community. Finally when all of that happened I was on the ground.

Wow look at all these “experts” in the comments who are projecting and assuming things about you based on a stereotype. It’s a racist dog whistle in reality. America is a melting pot. It has been for a very long time. Their own ancestors aren’t native Americans. They’re descendants of Europeans who immigrated from worse off countries OR colonizers who invaded. If these people in the comments don’t like it they can move somewhere else! And how much do you wanna bet these people call themselves “Christian”. Love thy neighbor until they were born on different soil. It’s ridiculous and hypocritical. These are not people who are a good representative of America. I mean seriously, why are you on a video learning about another culture and then when interacting with people from that culture you’re degrading to them?? These comments are a stain on humanity and those who take the time to write things like that should really be embarrassed of themselves.

[@suddie1215]

I'm Guyanese; my username reflects the fact that I was born at Suddie Hospital, Essequibo. My father was killed in the 1969 Rupununi Uprising and my mother and siblings all migrated as soon as we were able to do so. I've lived in the U.S. since 1980. This is an excellent video although some details were misunderstood or misrepresented. The current problems in Guyana are not all attributable to colonialism; much rests on the fact that starting around 1972, practically the entire middle class migrated in search of better economic opportunities and there are now more Guyanese living overseas than in the actual country. This decapitated the economy as the people who could be relied on to run the country all left and it has resulted in generations with poor education and work ethic and dependent on remittances of foreign currency and "barrels" from relatives living abroad. The end result is a wide gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" which explains much of the crimes that occur in Guyana today.

[@ElaBlu3]

Im curious what was misunerderstood or misreprsented. This video only covered until independence so we havent reached the 1970s yet. Maybe he will cover it in the next video.

[@suddie1215]

@@ElaBlu3 I would have to watch the video again to be able to note them all but immediately two things jumped out at me. (1) At around the 8:00 mark he describes the MV Makouria as a "party boat" when it actually is a passenger ferry owned by the Guyana government and operated by the Transport & Harbours Department. It serves the route between Parika and Bartica, stopping at several large islands in the Essequibo river. The Makouria is notable in Guyana's recent history; it was bombed in 1963 during the rioting/unrest that preceded Independence in May 1966. (2) I don't mean to be pedantic but he consistently mispronounces the word "Essequibo."

[@jermainesingh]

I'm sorry to say but the rupinuni Uprising was a stupid move

[@suddie1215]

@@jermainesingh I agree; and remarkably no one was ever punished for it. The leader, Valerie Hart, died in Florida in 2021 but before that she was allowed back into Guyana after spending years in hiding in Venezuela and Brazil. I'm interested in how it will be portrayed in this video series.

13:32 For those interested, the grave on the right is for a Laurens G. L. Backer, born in Rio Essequebo on the 2nd of November 1767, and died on the 7 (hard to read) of September 1768. On the left it’s Johannus Backer, who was commander of the militia of the colony Essequebo (also held some other titles). He was born in what is now Belgium (Tournai, then part of Austria) in 1737, died on the 19th of February 1772. Seems like a baby buried next to his father. What I can find online is that there was an Albertus Backer who was in charge of the colony in the 1780s and 1790s, but not much else.

My dad being a very cautious and intelligent man refused and taught something was very fishy about this. So as fine man left he called the police and told them(at that moment fine man was in our yard my dad didn’t know it was actually him).
