Guyana Bibliography

Clarifying "Guiana"
If you are a little confused by "Guiana," there were once three "Guiana's" in South America: British Guiana (now Guyana), Dutch Guiana (now Surinam) and French Guiana.  They are often confused with the three Guinea's in Africa: Guinea Bissau (former Portuguese colony), Guinea Conakry (former French colony) and Equatorial Guinea ( former Spanish colony).  To confuse matters more, there is Papua New Guinea in Asia.

The infamous Johnstown was in Guyana, but its only connection to anything Guyanese is geography.  The settlement, of estranged Americans, was an very isolated outpost accessible only by small plane, 150 mostly uninhabited miles from the capital.  There were no roads to it.  It had no political, economic, cultural or religious connection to Guyana, so it falsely taints the country.  It has now been reclaimed by the forest.
