Abstract:

Abstract This curatorial essay explores the dynamic role of Guyanese women artists and their persistence in using the arts to counter dangerous single stories of Guyana. These are women who have labored for their country, women who are in service to a larger vision of what Guyana is, can, and ought to be in the world. While honoring an older generation of Guyanese women, the essay simultaneously highlights a younger generation of Guyanese women across various stages in their artistic practices who have gained newfound power and an emancipatory vision through the arts. As a whole, this younger generation uses their artistic practices to resist a legacy of absence and invisibility of Guyanese women, even while the cadre of contemporary women artists of Guyanese heritage remains relatively under the radar—to both Guyanese people and on the world stage.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the remittance behavior of Guyanese immigrants living in three communities of New York City, USA to assess their remittance behavior and if these are motivated by altruism or the intent to return to live in Guyana. Over the last two decades, remittances accounted for approximately 17 percent of the GDP of the Guyanese economy and continue to grow. The bulk of these remittances are significant from its native sons and daughters residing in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – This case study uses non-experimental survey research design with survey data collected from 300 participants living in New York, with 236 selected for analysis. Findings – Guyanese living in New York City remit monies to Guyana because of a pure altruistic motive as well as believing that their contributions have a positive impact on the economic development of their nations regardless of their intention to return to Guyana. These findings support the altruistic model on remittance motivation. Research limitations/implications – The data gathered for this survey are restricted to three communities in the USA where Guyanese are significant in numbers, thus limiting generalizations and findings to other countries such as Canada, England, where there are significant enclaves of Guyanese immigrants. Practical implications – New York-based Guyanese deem their remittances as contributing to the economic development of their country. This suggest that there may room for a coordinated policy on the part of the Government of Guyana to develop a coordinated plan to engage overseas-based Guyanese to remit more to help with Guyana economic development efforts. Originality/value – This is the first study to survey Guyanese in their host countries to gather information on remittances motivation and the perceived impact of these remittances from the sender's perspective. The paper highlights the significant remittance contributions of US-based Guyanese and their net private flows to Guyana.

Abstract:

Abstract Immigrating to New York City presents new issues for Indo--Guyanese, especially as many find themselves in lower class positions while navigating a racial structure distinct from Guyana. A subset of these Indo--Guyanese Americans, particularly middle class women as well as the 1.5-- and second generation, believes Guyanese Hinduism, the forms of Hinduism adapted to the Guyanese context, must adapt again to continue to be relevant to the community in their new home. Central to their call is questioning the religious authority of pandits. As I will discuss, pandits occupy a powerful position in Guyanese Hindu community that extends beyond the religious sphere. The key to their authority lies in their ability and skill to read and interpret Hindu scripture. However, I argue the realities of migration have resulted in a questioning of religious authority and how pandits read these texts. With some Guyanese Hindus uncertain of the reliability of their pandit’s reading of scriptural text, there is a desire to engage in a Hinduism untainted by the biases of pandits. The presumed truth held within Hindu scripture has inspired some devotees to return to the text or rather to engage the text on their own for the first time. As a result, new reading practices are appearing within the community, which encourages Guyanese Hindus to craft a Hinduism that will serve them.

Abstract:

The late Guyanese historian and political activist Walter Rodney began his posthumously publishedA History of the Guyanese Working People 1881–1905(1981) by analyzing the “physical environment and class interests” in coastal Guyana. Writing against narratives that privileged the roles played by European capital and technology, Rodney argued that working people made large contributions to the “humanization” of the Guyanese environment. He noted that a powerful planter class placed severe constraints on working people who were “in no position to control the available technology or to initiate environmental intervention.” Political power was important, but Rodney noted that the environment played “a determining role in limiting the activities ofallsections of the population [original emphasis].” Writing an “intelligible narrative” of Guyana's history then, was “impossible” without an understanding of Guyana's environment.

Abstract:

Guyana’s high rate of migration has resulted in a sizeable Guyanese diaspora that continues to negotiate the connection with its homeland. Jan Lowe Shinebourne’s The Godmother and Other Stories opens avenues of understanding the experiences of emigrated Guyanese through the lens of transnational migration. Four protagonists, one each from the stories “The Godmother,” “Hopscotch,” “London and New York” and “Rebirth” act as literary case studies in the mechanisms involved in a Guyanese transnational migrant’s experience. Through a structuralist analysis, I show how the use of literary devices such as titles, layers and paradigms facilitate the presentation of the interplay of landscapes in the transnational migrant’s experience. The significance of the story titles is briefly analysed. Then, how memories of the homeland are layered on the landscape of residence and how this interplay stabilises the migrant are examined. Thirdly, how ambivalence can set in after elements from the homeland come into physical contact with the migrant on the landscape of residence, thereby shifting the nostalgic paradigm into an unstable structure, is highlighted. Finally, it is observed that as a result of the paradigm shift, the migrant must then operate on a shifted interplay that can be confounding. Altogether, the text offers an opportunity to explore migratory realities in the Guyanese emigrant’s experience.

Abstract:

Eight Guyanese expatriate women, who had been living in and around London for decades, came together driven by a participatory inquiry approach. Do we just have ‘a touch of sugar’ or is diabetes a serious affliction were questions asked. The study’s objective was to find answers to these questions. Three nurse academics, one a Guyanese/English woman herself, researched alongside participants. After several years of storytelling and group discussion (2010–2015), the women recognised that when they connected socially, the practical effect of togetherness was empowerment. Researching with participants fostered new understandings of diabetes and improved self-management of this chronic condition. This was achieved through the collaborative character of the inquiry and as a practical response to the problems women were facing. They continue to engage with each other and are reaching out to the wider UK Guyanese community. They have a strong voice about living well with diabetes and strongly reject the myth that diabetes is only ‘a touch of sugar’.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the study of African-Caribbean cultural and religious practices. Research in this area has tended to focus on Cuban Santeria, Haitian Vodou, Trinidadian Shango/Orisha/Spiritual Baptist and Jamaican Myal/Kumina practices. There has been little research on Guyanese religious and cultural practices. Kean Gibson's Comfa Religion and Creole Language in a Caribbean Community (2001) appears to be the most complete study of Guyanese Comfa. Comfa is the generic term used for the manifestation of spirits. Anyone who becomes spiritually possessed on hearing the beating of drums is said to 'ketch comfa'. Comfa practitioners recognise a pantheon of seven ethnic spirits: African, Amerindian, Chinese, Dutch, English, (East) Indian and Spanish. These groups have been historically associated with Guyana. Spirit possessions are stereotypically defined to reflect the ethnicity of each spirit. Inspired by Ema Brodber's method of combining sociological research with creative writing, this thesis is organised in three parts to reflect an interdisplinary methodology. Firstly, I combine Gibson's sociological account of Cornfa with the works of writers and postcolonial critics, namely Wilson Harris, Edward Brathwaite, Stuart Hall and Antonio Benitez-Rojo to consider Cornfa's significance to Guyanese cultural identity. I use Harris's ideas in his essay History Fable and Myth to argue that, as myth and art, Comfa has the potential to transform the recurrent image of despair, racial division and political violence that impact Guyana's cultural psyche. Secondly, I explore four texts by Caribbean writers to highlight the social, cultural and historical significance of spirit possession/spiritual practices and the way Caribbean spiritual traditions can be used as literary aesthetic. The third part of the thesis engages the foregoing analyses and theoretical considerations to write a novella with Cornfa as the central theme. The novella aims to demonstrate Comfa's potentiality as a literary and cultural resource.

Abstract:

Cervical cancer is a major public health problem in developing countries. In Guyana, factors associated with increasing cervical cancer cases among Indigenous Amerindian women (IAW), Afro- women (AGW), and Indo-Guyanese women (IGW) have not been fully examined. In this comparative cross-sectional study, 5,800 cervical cancer cases were selected from Guyanese women age 13 and above for ethnicity (Indigenous Amerindian, Afro- and Indo Guyanese women), geographical region, marital status, and year and stage at diagnosis. Secondary data from Guyana Cancer Registry for the 2000-2012 study periods were analyzed using chi-square test, multinomial logistic regression, poisson regression, and relative risk. Geographical region was a strong predictor of cervical cancer cases for all three ethnic groups (p < 0.05). The relative risk for cervical cancer for IAW in Regions 2 (RR = 1.2) and 6 (RR = 1.07) was greater than for IAW in Region 4, the reference group for the study period. Comparatively, the relative risk for cervical cancer for AGW in Region 4 was greater than AGW in all other regions except Region 3 (RR = 1.05). Additionally, the relative risk for cervical cancer for IGW in Region 3 (RR = 1.03) was greater than that of IGW in all other regions. Single IAW (1.05) have a higher risk of getting cervical cancer than their married counterparts as compared to AGW (0.96) and IGW (1.00). Implications for social change include development of tailored programs which utilize a socio-ecological model to address cervical cancer issues at the individual, interpersonal, cultural, and community levels. Future research should focus on understanding the epidemiology of cervical cancer and the social factors among the ethnic groups of women.

Abstract:

State and market expansion and consolidation are definitive characteristics of the process of modernization. The ways in which modernization occurs is illustrated in artisanal and medium-scale gold mining in Guyana. This work examines the ongoing process of state modernization in Mahdia, a mining town in Guyana's interior rainforest territory. It outlines the making of this mining place, the economic livelihood strategies that keep people coming and going to this place, and ideas of what it means to be somebody in this place. By exposing cultural paradoxes that are emerging through the process of modernization, this work reiterates the idea that modernity can be found in a broad range of times and places, and does not follow one universal trajectory. Thus, the discrete practices and experiences of modernization in places like Mahdia have also been referred to as the unfolding of "alternative modernities."
L'expansion de l'État et la consolidation du marché sont des caractéristiques propres au processus de modernisation. Plusieurs des formes que prend la modernisation sont illustrées dans l'extraction artisanale et à moyenne échelle de l'or en Guyane. Cet ouvrage examine le processus continu de modernisation de l'État dans la ville minière de Mahdia, située à l'intérieur des territoires de forêt tropicale de la Guyane. L'ouvrage décrit la création de ce lieu minier, les stratégies économiques de subsistance qui font de cette localité un centre où les gens viennent et passent ainsi que quelques idées quant à ce que cela peut signifier que « d'être quelqu'un » dans cette ville. En exposant quelques uns des paradoxes culturels qui émergent à travers le processus de modernisation, cet ouvrage réitère l'idée selon laquelle les attentes de la modernité ne coïncident pas toujours avec les différentes réalités locales et de ce fait, les pratiques discrètes et les expériences de modernisation dans des endroits comme Mahdia sont plus fidèlement définies comme le déploiement de "modernités alternatives".

Abstract:

Early Intervention and Local Content Optimization Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited ("ExxonMobil"), an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation, and its co-venturers Hess Guyana Exploration Limited and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited, discovered oil in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana during the first half of 2015. The success of safely drilling their first well (Liza-1), followed a history of 40 dry holes in the Guiana Basin prior to ExxonMobil beginning ultra-deepwater oil and gas exploration in 2008 (Varga et al. 2021). Guyana, with a small population of 750,000, was primarily economically focused on agriculture, manufacturing, and the mining of bauxite and gold. ExxonMobil identified the need for an early, focused, coordinated, and long-lasting approach to local content planning to provide tangible results for Guyana. Developing local businesses to actively participate in the industry and enter the supply chain while raising awareness of how the oil and gas industry operates was paramount, as was managing expectations of the Guyanese government and populace about local content. ExxonMobil recognized that the established mining sector in Guyana had the potential to provide a base of local suppliers able to transition into the emerging oil and gas sector. It subsequently undertook a number of assessments and studies on the local economy to further understand the local context. The finding of these assessments highlighted that most Guyanese companies were operating in the small local economy or working within the Caribbean region, limiting their exposure to international standards and providing little impetus to become globally competitive. Despite having technical competencies that could be utilized in the oil and gas industry, shortfalls were apparent in the areas of auditable systems, business processes, quality assurance, and safety. Closing the gaps would take time and investment, and a shift in culture in some parts. An internal assessment of ExxonMobil's supplier development programs was conducted, and a Guyana supplier development program was developed by drawing from best practices around the globe. ExxonMobil, with the support of its Stabroek Block co-venturers, took a proactive decision and devised a plan to engage an independent third party to run a "fit for purpose" enterprise development centre (EDC) to support the technical development in country through local content prior to final investment decision (FID). In order to be equipped to provide early roll out of local content development, and 6 months before FID for Liza 1, ExxonMobil released a Request for Proposal (RFP). Bidders were invited to submit proposals on how the EDC would function "fit for purpose" and compliment rather than compete with current Guyanese activities and vendors. The successful bidder, DAI Global LLC (DAI), had a proven track record of international socioeconomic project successes and was selected to form a unique and collaborative, strategic relationship with ExxonMobil. Although DAI had previous experience in nascent markets, the challenge in Guyana was to expand the Guyanese supplier base into a new sector. The global experience of both ExxonMobil and DAI worked in tandem to produce a flexible management structure with the capability to adapt to the ensuing exploration successes and expanding industry needs. Both short and long term programs would be utilized to engage businesses for the changing needs of businesses during varying developmental stages. Additionally, ExxonMobil's foresight to incorporate local content requirements and contractual use of the centre into prime contractor contracts provided support for the long-term viability of the EDC. The EDC established in Guyana was named The Centre for Local Business Development (Centre). The Centre design provides a supportive environment where seeking and acquiring information about the oil and gas sector is a comfortable experience. Inclusive of classrooms, meeting spaces, offices, and networking areas, the Centre sponsors engaging programs and provides mentorship for companies entering the industy. Drawing upon studies and data to drive the content and focus of its programs, the Centre addresses relevant needs in the business community. For example, a DAI baseline study on the international competitiveness of local businesses showed that two-thirds of Guyanese businesses were not internationally competitive and needed support with basic business systems (e.g. financial management, supply chain management and human resources). Other stakeholder focus group studies conducted by ExxonMobil determined that there was a lack of foundational knowledge about the oil and gas sector. Having access to this research pre-FID allowed for a head start on planning and enabled the implementation of a work program just 3 months after the Centre's opening.

Abstract:

This paper contains a review of three published articles by the author on various coping mechanisms implemented by Trinidadian (37), Grenadian (44), and Guyanese (12) educators during the pandemic. The two studies reflect the issues of absenteeism, digital divide, accessibility, parental involvement, student motivation and ways in which teachers in rural Guyana were alleviating learning loss. The sampling method used was purposive. The two studies are qualitative in nature with descriptive phenomenology capturing the participants’ lived experiences. Semantic and latent coding determined the major themes of the studies. The findings in these studies expand the extant literature on emergency remote education.

Abstract:

Abstract The ExxonMobil Wells organization, along with Hess Guyana Exploration Limited and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited, executed a successful multi-rig campaign to achieve First Oil on the Liza Phase 1 project ahead of schedule, utilizing advanced deepwater completion technologies to deliver highly productive wells. Considering the sizable resource offshore Guyana, strategic partnerships have been established with drilling contractors and other service providers to build economies-of-scale. ExxonMobil's prior global experience is actively being leveraged in rig selection and well design. Standardization, both above and below the rotary, has allowed for increased flexibility on current and future well execution, maintaining optionality to rapidly adjust project pace. A deliberate contracting strategy with established rig providers has also opened access to top tier rigs with reduced procurement timelines, providing flexibility with total rig count and capability. With an integrated team approach focused on simulataneous operations (SIMOPS) mitigation, rig movements have been optimized within the field to prioritize the highest value work and streamline project delivery. Effective schedule integration with multiple drilling rigs and installation vessels has reduced SIMOPS downtime during Phase 1 project execution. Additionally, batch rig operations have allowed the team to capitalize on operational efficiencies. A combination of these factors led to on-time well delivery and helped the project achieve aggressive First Oil milestones. The team has implemented innovative technologies to maximize value and well reliability, including the following: integrated geosteering workflows, with Azimuthal Ultra-Deep Resistivity (AUDR), enabling maximum reservoir penetrations; a suite of low equivalent circulating density (ECD) drilling fluids that enable the drilling of narrow-margin, highly deviated wells; ExxonMobil's patented NAFPac™ openhole gravel pack technology and autonomous inflow control devices (AICDs) on stand-alone-screen completions to increase well life and reliability; and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) based tree intervention control systems and ROV actuated suspension valves allowing for offline installation of subsea trees. Additionally, the team implemented the first floating application of the NOVOS™ automated slip-to-slip drilling system. NOVOS™ has been coupled with an automated drilling advisory system (AutoDAS) and data analytics environments for continuous performance improvement. The production wells that were delivered for Liza Phase 1 have highly productive, low-skin completions averaging over 900 m in length and production rates in excess of 30 kbd/well. Advancements in completion technology and efficiency proven on Liza Phase 1 are being extended into Phase 2 development and beyond, providing additional reservoir management capability. Lastly, ExxonMobil's commitment to Guyana extends to its people. Guyanese personnel have benefitted from significant training provided by ExxonMobil and sub-contractors, and Guyanese Nationals represented approximately 40% of the workforce involved in Wells-related activities at the end of 2020.

Abstract:

Abstract Enterprise Development Centres (EDCs) have emerged as a best practice in building local content and capacity and driving economic development in emerging economies. In 2017, prior to Final Investment Decision (FID) of any oil field, ExxonMobil Guyana launched the Centre for Local Business Development (The Centre) in Guyana, managed by DAI Global. This early investment was key to show ExxonMobil's commitment to optimizing local content. The Centre's early mission was to build local competitiveness and support Guyanese businesses in accessing opportunities in the emerging oil & gas sector through capacity building, training, awareness and education. This paper looks at lessons learned five years into the operation of the Guyana Centre for Local Business Development. The objective is to help identify learnings that can be shared with other similar institutions and economic development programs to support implementation of successful strategies especially in relation to supply chain development. This paper focuses on the evolving mission of the Centre from training towards more mentorship of the local supply chain and the process of this evolution and lessons learned along the way. Further, the paper will use empirical findings over the last five years to show the importance of early investments in the supply chain and how this helps to support a growing and evolving economy.

Abstract:

Abstract The dynamics analysis of link structure, including elastic vibrations, is presented. The two nodes element including large displacement is developed. This element is based on the theory of finite rotation, and includes geometric stiffness. The stiffness matrix and the inertia matrix are obtained from the FEM model by the theory of Guyan’s reduction including large displacement motion. In this paper, we explain the theory of this element and show some examples of analysis.

Abstract:

Abstract Distributed sensing and control of flexible structures have drawn much attention in recent years. Piezoelectric elements can be used with an elastic structure as sensors and actuators for structural monitoring and control applications. This paper presents a development of a thin piezoelectric finite element applied to active control of flexible structures. A piezoelectric finite element is derived using the variational equation and Hamilton’s principle. System equations of a piezoelectric structure are formulated accordingly. Guyan’s reduction technique is incorporated to improve the computation efficiency. Feedback control algorithms are also derived and implemented in the finite element code. Applications of the technique to a plate with segmented distributed sensora/actuators are studied and effectiveness evaluated.

Full text

Abstract:

The government of Guyana signed a rice compensation agreement with Venezuela in 2009 wherein Guyanese rice exports were accepted in partial payment for imports of Venezuelan oil. The agreement ended in November 2015 and was not renewed for 2016. The scheme had provided stimulus to the Guyanese rice sector, resulting in higher levels of investments in improved inputs and machinery, an expansion in area cultivated, higher levels of outputs, higher levels of exports, and increased employment. The main incentive was the payment of a market premium, averaging 20 percent greater than world price. Despite improvements in yields, the average cost of production for a metric ton of Guyanese rice has remained uncompetitive compared with other leading exporters of rice (US, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam), limiting export market diversification opportunities. Because the scheme ended, Guyana must now place all of its exportable surplus in alternative markets. Without dramatic reductions in the cost of production, Guyana's response strategy will be limited to searching for premium bilateral deals and improving value-added processing activities. At present, Cambodia and Myanmar are displacing Guyana's rice exports to the European Union market, and Vietnam has entered into a supply agreement with Haiti, one of Guyana's Caribbean Community markets. This paper assesses the implications of Guyana's vulnerability in this scenario and offers recommendations to assuage the risks of a sharp price reduction.

Abstract:

The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in Guyanas economic development by contributing 21.15% of gross domestic product (GDP). However, the share of the agricultural sector has been gradually decreasing over the years. This monograph offers an update of the OCDEs Producer Support Estimate (PSE) methodology applied to Guyana for 2015-2019. The PSE approach focuses on two main elements of support: (i) the effect of government policy on prices received by agricultural producers, and (ii) the support provided through budgetary transfers to the sector. The market price support (MPS) remained Guyanas main PSE component. Expressed as a share of the total PSE, Guyanas MPS averaged 59% between 2015 and 2018. Following the end of Government transfers to GuySuCo in 2019, which led to a sharp decline in budget transfers to the agricultural sector, it rose to 96%. The main driver of Guyanas MPS remained the import duties in place to protect domestic producers of poultry meat. This report also documents the evolution of agricultural policies-related greenhouse gas emissions in Guyana for the first time. The poultry subsector, which receives most of the policy support in Guyana, emits little. Sugar and rice, on the other hand, are the commodities with the highest GHG emissions per hectare. To conclude, several policy recommendations are presented.
