Guyana

Updated edition of the lavishly-illustrated insight into the unique and little-known Caribbean nation of Guyana. Known as the Land of Many Waters, Guyana is located on the north-eastern shoulder of South America. It occupies an area slightly smaller than the UK and is the continent's only English-speaking nation. With a majority population - almost equally - of both African and Indian heritage, Guyanese society has been influenced by many traditions and customs and is, today, the quintessential Caribbean nation.
