It is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of calypso through the eyes of those calypsonians that were and are an integral part of the development and evolution of the art form.”
Dr. Kimani K. S. Nehusi, Professor at the University of East London, calls the new book “a masterpiece of scholarship, insight and impressive research”, which “unfolds to the world the life, skill, craftsmanship and talent of the veteran calypsonian.”

The interior of Guyana is a spectacular place. Unfortunately very few Guyanese know it. By interior, we Guyanese mean anything that is not between the mouths of the Essequibo and the Courantyne Rivers and within twenty miles of the Coast
Religious Holidays and Social Interaction in Upper Corentyne – John “Slingshot”Drepaul
I grew up in the No 63-64 Village. This area is populated predominantly by people of East Indian and African descent….regardless of our religious and political views and social standing, neighbourly love and support were never far….

We all had a wonderful day visiting with the good people at the Rupununi village of Sand Creek, and were ready to leave. …Sand Creek is poised at the base of the majestic Kanuku Mountain range, which stretches over a hundred miles, from Suriname in the east to Brazil in the west. It is the home of the endangered giant harpy eagle….

The old Vauxhall car turned left out of Russell street and onto Sussesx Street, and was soon bumping and rattling its way towards Cooper street, where Albert was headed for a rendezvous with his mother, sister and brother, whom he had left behind nearly thirty years ago…
Bv Means Better Fuh Walk In- Kwesi Oginga
The village, Beterverwagting, became popular because it had the longest road for a visitor to walk in before they could get to that part of the village where people lived. Many men took that road into the village after their first date with their fiancée, and you never heard from them again, until they were married and with children and settled and living happily, somewhere in the village.

The Silk Purse by Raquel Ortiz
$21.95About “The Silk Purse”
Memories of a Puerto Rican in New YorkNew Book tells of young girl’s South Bronx childhood
As children, we are taught to let go; as adults, to hang on. When do we do which? TV producer Raquel Ortiz’s first book The Silk Purse takes us into the life of a young Puerto Rican girl growing up in the Bronx and at the same time to an intimate portrayal of a Puerto Rican family and a close-knit Puerto Rican neighborhood. It is not enough that a good story be told, it must be told well. And Ortiz knows how to spin her true story into a beautiful tapestry of family, friendship, finding and losing love, and personal tragedies.
In the cramped and decaying South Bronx neighborhood, an ingenious and talented Puerto Rican girl found a sanctuary. In the Ortiz household itself, Raquel had the love of her mother, stepfather, and grandparents, her favorite grandaunt and her younger sister. In spite of the beginning signs of decay and devastation, the entire Puerto Rican neighborhood was like an extended family. Children went through one kitchen to another; each adult was an uncle or an aunt who would reprimand and tell on every prank or misbehavior.
The Silk Purse begins when Raquel is three years old and ends with a major transition in her life at age eighteen. Along the way, she learned to stand up for her young black friend, and to let go of her favorite Titi Maria, and her first love Alfonso. And perhaps most importantly, to let go of a vicious personal attack that would haunt her forever. We never forget for the memories will be with us forever; but we must learn to cherish the joy and accept the tragic and the bitter. This book will take you on a journey of self-acceptance and warm memories of a loving home.
