Guyana did not have higher education so student were force to study abroad it was not abnormal , many student went to Russia, England and the Caribbean. I lived through the 60s and was force to see a better life in North America. I arrive with 50 dollars and a suitcase. We were not allowed to leave with our money.

Although the videographer seems to be honestly attempting to do her knowledgeable best, she lacks content and presentation accuracies of Guyana's social and political history. Guyana's "blood" siblings, hand-in-glove, were Jagan and Burnham, and Janet - true family, don't you know? Burnham and Jagan founded the PPP - with many others; and Burnham was Jagan's Minister of Education during the PPP COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT in - - - 1953 Young Guyanese must be told that these two politicians were "blood brothers" - not really enemies; and that they must desist from hurling racist epithets at one another. Guyanese Africans and Guyanese Indians must coalesce for the attainment of true Patriotic Nationalism, and the preservation of all of Guyana's territorial sovereignty, especially Essequibo. The fight should be over the long-over-due return to Guyana of her Island of Anacoco/Ankoko. It is sadly apposite to note that no Guyanese President has made any ACTIVE attempts to regain the territory seized from Guyana in - - - 1969. What a shame!

The Spanish, Dutch the French and on and on it goes have also caused so much pain in the world because they were seen as our Colonial Masters.

She stood through thick and thin with her husband for Guyana's Independence that came in May of '66.Then, as if that wasn't enough she weathered the storm for Democracy in Post- Independent Guyana for 28 gruelling years! It was not until 1992 when she and Cheddie saw light at the end of the turmoil tunnel that democracy was being restored! Some time had passed when again and sadly after the passing of Cheddie she had endured some more difficulties after the '97 Elections when she became Guyana's first woman President up until when she stepped down from the presidency in '99! She was awarded Guyana's highest National Award: The Order of Excellence - O.E; only two persons it was bestowed upon - the other being former Jamaican PM Mr. P.J. Patterson. She is known as the 'Mother of the Nation'. She came to British Guiana and endured the struggles like the women of the day. I saw a video of her talking about cooking on the green stoves - a kerosene fired stove. I don't know about anyone but for me she was full blown Guyanese at heart more than a white American! She will be remembered for eternity. RIP dear mother Janet. P.S. As I am writing this, Guyana has had its General Elections on March 2 and today is March 27 yet a winner cannot be declared! For a second bout(first being the Burnham era of 28 years) Guyana's democracy is being under sieged! For the very first time, a sovereign country's election was rigged on 'TV' in the presence of Elections' Observers from the Carter Center, the OAS, the EU, Canadian and British High commissioners along side the American Ambassador! Both Janet and Cheddie fought a lifelong battle for Guyana's democracy and they had it! Come see what is Guyana today from what it was before 1992 up until 2015. But democracy, left in the wrong hands would soon be trampled upon here in Guyana! Dictatorship is coming back lest something quickly is done today !

I'm sorry but the information being said from this professor is all wrong and bias. For one Forbes Burnham was never a dictator he did more for his people than his predecessors national service Free school and University. Janet was a crook she wasn't even elected president when her husband died she placed herself there and had herself sworn in behind closed doors when Parliament was still going through their motions for election. Janet's parents were not accepting of Cheddi because he was of colored ethnicity he was East Indian but they say him as a negro and even to the fact she and he were not accepting of blacks in her later years in the Guyana government she has created an even greater divide between the Indo and Afro Guyanese.

34:00 this guy does not know what he is talking about 1966 is the year Guyana won its independence that will always be 1992 has nothing to do with Guyana being an independent country. Elections and independence are two different things.

[@josephwharton2559]

Let me ask you something,did you ever visited Guyana ? what history do you really know about Guyana first of all you give me ten example of world presidents that was born in another country and was able to be president in another country ?it don`t matter how long someone is living in a country once they are`t not born there they could`t be president just because of the ethnic division that is why she was elected/selected as the president. Look in India Sonia Gandhi could be president but which kind only for the indian congress party as she is a born Italian, the indians would`t allow it this century or ever, but in Guyana with a complex ethnic politics i hope that nothing like that ever happened again, in Guyana again But Suzanne Wassererman i think you should have stayed of of Guyanese politics of which you cannot fathom the complexities and of which you dont know nothing about.

Do you even know what the definition of a dictator is? What made him a dictator? You people are just spewing racially motivated rhetoric without knowledge or care.

[@amazonwarrior7126]

well we loved Janet in Guyana, and SUSAN w Wasserman was almost apologising because she was white, well it had nothing to do with her white skin but,because she was very popular because of what she done for the Guyanese people,the Guyanese people loved her, and by the way she was not the only white person in Guyana,we had loads of white and Portuguese people until the racist Burnam came to power. And another thing Guyana has 6 races not two and the African Guyanese make up 20% and not half of the population of Guyana, so I have to correct the misconception, and Guyana has 2 3/4 million abroad. Yes we also love Jewish people in Guyana.

[@bronxtours4193]

Janet jagan was married to dr.cheddy jagan . And she was a sentimental to the east indian movement in guyana ( in other words racist) and im east indian, she is responsible in part or large of the racial tension in the country. Further more i dont even know how a white jewish women. Who is not BORN in GUYANA. Can be the president of our country. SMH ( I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM IF SHE WAS BORN IN GUYANA AND HAPPENS TO BE A WHITE JEW!

[@essarroyrupchand4007]

Please review the political history of Guyana from 1953 to 1970

[@amazonwarrior7126]

hay 193, you full of bull shit there was no east indian movement in Guyana,it was a Guyanese movement a all the other races voted for the PPP in Guyana,as they would never vote for the raceist Burnham Government who were only for one people,and stop devideing us,

[@DineshSingh-pr4ij]

i didn't know she is a Jew. That's cool. now I'm not gonna lie, her husband was racist and she improved on many things he left off in our country. that is just one of many things she did as a very independent and strong woman.

[@haroldlachman6755]

@@chocolateccm Burnham was a RIGGER of elections. LINDEN BURHNHAM was never a winner of election. Linden Burnham was a violent racist, just like you and I know all about the violent racist Linden Burnham and the like of you. I had lived in Guyana throughout the time Linden Burnham rigged the election and ruled illegally in Guyana. When the violent, racist Burnham was ruling, people had to form long lines about 0.5 mile long just to buy a pound of flour. Linden Burnham racist - racism lies in his DNA - Amen.

This lady will poison the country

[@essarroyrupchand4007]

She is not trying to become President. She was president from 1997 to 1999. I lived in the motherland from 1950 and since in the 60's I knew that she was a Jewish American that became a Guyanese citizen.You can have the seat under certain conditions Read Guyana constitution. This lady did more for Guyana that you and me put together.
