“The Alligator Ferry Service
and other Stories From Guyana”
“The Alligator Ferry Service
and other Stories From Guyana” is a 32 page full colour book, collection of
stories, written by Janet Jagan, which will delight children all over the
world and give them a sense of the magical beauty of Guyana's (South
America) landscape and the humanity of its people. You will meet an
enterprising alligator who sets up a ferry service, a hummingbird who saves
the lives of the mighty Harpy Eagle's babies, a haughty green cat, Rima, a
singing sea-bird, an animal fashion show and many, many more interesting
animal characters.
Set in Guyana, these stories
of brave, ingenious, kindly and sometimes playful animals and children use
humour, mystery and excitement to provide a strong framework of positive
human values. A new Canadian illustrator, Elizabeth Burke whose
illustrations are so real to life that they bring these exotic animals to
life for children, illustrates the stories. Price:

Forbidden Freedom - The Story
of
British Guiana
Dr.
Cheddi Jagan, Guyana’s first freely elected President, led the struggle of
the people of
Guyana for
Independence and later for the restoration of democracy. In the
pre-independence period, he and his People’s Progressive Party won
successive elections in 1953, 1957 and in 1961. In 1953, just after 133 days
in office, his government was deposed by the British colonialists. This book
first published in 1954,
appeared in the
aftermath of his removal from government, and describes what occurred and
the reasons behind his removal. The new epilogue (written in 1993) is laden
with his ideas and plans for a new Guyana.

-The
West on Trial , My Fight for
Guyana’s
Freedom
Dr.
Cheddi Jagan was democratically elected to govern in 1953, 1957, 1961 and
again in 1992 when he became
Guyana’s
first freely elected President. In 1953, just after 133 days in office, his
government was deposed by the British colonialists, and again in 1964 by
electoral machinations and destabilization
carried out by a
combined operation of opposition forces and the CIA. His struggles and ideas
are clearly captured in this autobiographical work. There is a new epilogue
written just before his death in March 1997. It is a virtual textbook of the
anti-colonial struggle and necessary reading material for anyone wanting to
understand the history of Guyana and any developing country.
Price: $25.00
Canadian
(in
Canada please add 7% GST + $8.00;

Selected Speeches 1992-1994

volume contains speeches by the late Guyanese President Cheddi Jagan, who is
universally regarded as one of the most principled political leaders of the
Third World. These speeches delivered at various fora between November 1992
and June 1994, testify to his integrity of vision and his eloquent concern
for the potential as well as the plight of the Guyanese people over forty
years of political action. There is constant emphasis on the virtues of
democracy, human rights, and transparent and honest government. Its message
is important not only for the Caribbean but also for the Third World as a
whole.

My
Fight For Guyana’s Freedom- with reflections on my father by Nadira
Jagan-Brancier
|
This
is an abridged and illustrated version of Cheddi Jagan’s autobiography "The
West On Trial." It has been put together by his daughter Nadira
Jagan-Brancier who wanted to give a close up view of her father’s personal
life. While the text is generally the same as the original, she has trimmed
off some sections which deal with in-depth discussions of ideological
issues, and added sections from his other writings pertaining to his life
and beliefs. The over 350 photographs included in this publication are used
to illustrate the text. Alongside each photo are quotes by Cheddi Jagan,
tributes to Cheddi Jagan or reflections on him by his daughter.

The
USA in South America
|
The
volume contains five papers by Dr. Jagan published between 1968 –1986. Three
of these essays outline Dr. Jagan’s views of the threat that the American
military – industrial complex - posed to the stability and security of the
Hemisphere, in the Cold War era. The paper on "Theory of Vital Interests and
Security Zones" is conceptually the centerpiece of the work. The other
papers may be viewed as applications in practice of the Western world’s
theory. Thus
Guyana
/Caribbean/Central America is dealt with, and the wider international,
non-aligned world. The essays are very much a product of their time. Much
has changed since they were written in ways that would have defied
prediction, even to the most visionary. While they are a useful testament to
history, they are also full of optimism, far beyond any reasonable
expectation, strangely insightful of what lies ahead in the future.
Price: $18.00 Canadian (in
Canada please add
7% GST + $5.00 ; in

please add US$6.00(airmail) and all others US$6 (surface) for shipping and

A New
Global Human Order |
This
volume contains a collection of speeches and writings made between 1993-1996
by the late President of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, in which he put forward
his ideas for a New Global Human Order where the primacy of human
development is the guiding principle. He was convinced that with a
coordinated international effort, poverty and hunger could be eradicated in
our lifetime. Throughout his life Cheddi Jagan fought for the poor,
marginalized, oppressed and suppressed peoples of Guyana and the world at
large. His proposals for a New Global Human Order are his legacy to the
world.
On
November
24, 2000 a Resolution on the Role of the United Nations in promoting a New
Global Human Order was adopted by consensus.
