BEYOND THE CANEFIELDS

Jan 06, 2018 Letters

Dear editors,
The Guyana Times wrote about Cheddi Jagan, noting that his father “obviously saw a future beyond the sugar fields” for his first born.
Strange that the very broadsheet should condemn attempts to diversify, after 100 years, the sugar industry and to create alternative opportunities for children of sugar workers.
Guyana Times had hypocritically argued that cane cutters are not fit to do any other work. They cannot plant cash crops or rear fish for a living. Times said that sugar workers should remain as they are – beautiful as Bolshoi theatre dancers !
Cheddi Jagan would not have been the good leader he became if his father had not taken him away from the canefields!
Regards,
Earl Hamilton
