As premier of British Guiana, he led the country to independence in 1966 and spent two decades as its head of state until his death in 1985. An intensely charismatic politician, Burnham helped steer a new course for the former colony, but he was also a quintessential strongman leader, venerated by some of his citizens yet feared and despised by others.</p><p><em>Forbes Burnham: The Life and Times of the Comrade Leader</em> is the first political biography of this complex and influential figure. It charts how the political party he founded, the Peoples National Congress, combined nationalist rhetoric, socialist policies, and Pan-Africanist philosophies. It also explores how, in a country already deeply divided between the descendants of African slaves and Indian indentured servants, Burnham consolidated political power by intensifying ethnic polarizations. Drawing from historical archives as well as new interviews with the people who knew Burnham best, sociologist Linden F. Lewis examines how his dictatorial tendencies coexisted with his progressive convictions. <em>Forbes Burnham</em> is a compelling study of the nature of postcolonial leadership and its pitfalls.</p>...4444876Forbes Burnham708983https://www.gandhi.com.mx/forbes-burnham-9781978837522/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4337018/image.jpg?v=638446666128130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781978837522_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9781978837522_<p>It is virtually impossible to understand the history of modern Guyana without understanding the role played by Forbes Burnham.
