So for many Guyanese, when the word race is used, they don't think about the question of white domination and white values and so on. That is important, but by and large they mean this confrontation between Africans and Indians. I grew up in a divided society, in which the majority of one's day to day contacts were with one's own ethnic group. So there was a certain isolation. But I didn't regard it as a condition of hostility. I inter related with Indians at school, etc. They were just other Guyanese..........More STATEMENT BY DR.
