The Coloured Girl in the Ring: A Guyanese Woman Remembers

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Accolades to Brenda DoHarris for this excellent account of Guyanese memories and traditions. A must read for all Guyanese, and parties who are interested in different cultures, and their customs.
Being a fellow Guyanese, this book brought back many fond memories. It also recaptured forgotten experiences, that might otherwise, have been left to fade to obscurity in the recesses of my mind.
Hopefully, we see more works from this author sometime soon.

Summary: Book contents quoted at another book launch in Guyana
Review: Doharris' work was a very good and extremely relevant piece of Guyanese literature. In my analysis of the Guyanese psyche at the launching of my book in front of a national audience in 2003 in Georgetown, I quoted her several times, referring to the effects of a colonial education on Guyanese thought. I teach Geography at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro

Summary: Characters
Review: I did not like this book. The characters were undeveloped, and the ending was abrupt. Although there was much variety in the types of characters presented, the overall plot was sorely lacking.
