Guyana is South American Country!
Why is guyana now claiming credit for
having the FIRST Caribbean Publishing
House?
Guyana is still In South America ?????
There's a few
Caribbean Publishing Companies
around, many are located acutally in
the Caribbean before this?.

It's located in Guyana, South America!
here's the funniest quote
"The initial focus, he said, would be on Guyanese literature."
but that's in south america right?
I guess those Jamaican
publishing houses amd Jamaican authors
aren't Caribbean enough
to be considered or acknowledged as the FIRST!

Why all the hate? Guyana is a full time member of Caricom, and is one of the founding members. If thats good enough, why does it matter that it is a part of South America and isn't an island?
Perhaps calling it the first "Caribbean" publishing house means that it publishes works by authors no matter what Caribbean nation they're from. I don't know if thats the case with the "Jamaican" publishing houses that everyone is citing. After all, according to the article, Earl Lovelace (a Trinidadian author) and Derek Walcott (a St. Lucian poet) seem to like the concept.

Don't be FOOLED by any South American
Publishing House Calling itself "the 1ST CARIBBEAN, anything!"
CARICOM member or not.
It's still a South American country vying for business & competing with
long established Caribbean Publishing Industries.
- it's still taking much needed jobs FROM the CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
while outsourcing & providing employment to continent of
SOUTH AMERICA!

The Guyana claims are intentionally misleading and misnomer.
What will be the real difference in
sending books away to a Guyanese "Caribbean friendly" factory
that's located in South America to be published & distributed?
Or sending them work the UK Caribbean "friendly" publisher" or Canadian Caribbean" friendly" publisher? or any other publisher located outside of the Caribbean islands - who insist on calling their new company's Caribbean?
It's still a sneaky form outsoursing jobs from the "actual" Caribbean to go to benefit South America continent
& It's still taking much needed publishing jobs & industry from the
Islands in the Caribbean.
Jamaica needs to reclaim, reenergize, advertise, protect it's
established Caribbean Publishing Industry & retain Jobs for it's People
on their Islands, when their factories are shutting down and industry is leaving in droves, leaving more Caribbean born and bred based People who are still living withiin the true Caribbean Islands unemployed and poor !
could it be claims for Guyana to Open the First Canadian Publishing House will not be not far behind?

Lakers Fan: "Jamaica needs to reclaim, reenergize, advertise, protect it's established Caribbean.. blah blah"
Why is it that Jamaica is the representative of the Caribbean? Why not say the Caribbean needs to reclaim, reenergize... and so on? Sounds like you want all the jobs to be in Jamaica and not anywhere else.
Jamaicans seem to think that they are the only Caribbean country that matter.

"The press would provide jobs while increasing the intellectual capacity as well as the printing capacity in Guyana. "
http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/news-17071--13-13--.html
It's very smart marketing Guyana's part. They are moving jobs
to south america and using the caribbean brand name.
The true Islands of the Caribbean
had every right to
& Should have trademarked that name, brand &
slogan first
but they didn't so now a South American company is doing it!
It's now the Caribbean's loss.
I'd like to support the real Caribbean Publishing companies.
Where can I get a list of
publishing
houses that are located
in the Caribbean islands, preferably Aruba?

I don't understand all the Guyanese hate. Guyana has more in common culturally and politically with rest of the "Caribbean" than the Dominican Republic and Guadeloupe.

The heads of Caricom should kick Guyana and Ragdeo out of Caricom. Then maybe all the bonafide West Indian islands will get along and actually achieve the goals set forth in Caricom. Guyanese should stay in south america because they are south americans and quit populating the caribbean.

Why so much hate against guyana? Guyana is hating
& murdering on its own peopleand the small islands don't
want their cost of their violent problems on their soil!
I don't think Guyana has much in
common politically with the rest of
the Caribbean, they keep their
own brand of political cronyism in office
with the racism, disgusting massacres,
keeping the classism & racism, the infighting alive!
they don't prosecuting people for human trafficking
with their illegeal immigration problem headlines say
Guyana will not prosecute people for trafficking in persons just to satisfy the UAS, says Guyanese minister
http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/news-17169--13-13--.html
They know that they are intentionally flooding
immigrants to other countries illegally, they just don't care about breaking other
countries laws, but they are the first to squeal about injustice
when they get caught & deported back to guyana.
or do they prosecute their own Drug Lords for drug dealing
Guyana has never prosecuted a drug lord 7 they proud of that?

They keep Electing ineffective Politicians
that fail to build that Huge Country with
lots of resources up !
But even with all of this going against
their own County's Governernance the Guyaness are very
brash and vocal about trying to tell every other island
in the Caribbean, How to run their Governments.
It's very Hypocritical!
Fix your own SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY before you
lecture other CARIBBEAN islands on how to run their countries.
especially when those caribbean islands
ARE NOT WORSE OFF THAN YOUR COUNTRY with the crime
violence and corruption.
Guyana will always be a South American Country.

CRIME: Serious crime, including murder and armed robbery, continues to be a major problem; the murder rate in Guyana is three times higher than the murder rate in the United States relative to the population.
_but they want to pretend like they are they
CARICOM'S persecuted south american
innocent victims or that they are angelic model law abiding citizens?
Alot of them openly disregard, disrespect
& thumb their nose any other country's or islands laws
that they illegally immigrate to.
Leadership comes from the top and sends the message down
to their Citizens how to behave and their South American Leadership does the very same thing to Caribbean Islands in CARICOM - but Guyana wants to
be RESPECTED?

Guyana has alot of work to do in sense of crime and imagration, thats a fact but, it seems like mostly everyone here is focused on that its "South American" and not an Island, which doesnt make it the caribbean.
You people need to be a little more educated.
The culture in Guyana is Caribbean, thats not going to change because its not an island. The location doesnt make a difference, the country has been a respected member of caricom for years, and it hosted the first caribbean festival of arts in the 70s and again lastyear. Now i might be wrong, but go and tell the people of Guyana that their culture is wrong, that the way they speak is wrong (yes, guyanese people speak with a caribbean accent,shocking i know), and tell one of the most well known cricket teams in the world (the west indies) that they need to kick out all the guyanese players.
Guyana has alot of work to do, its in debt an people dont have alot of money and because of that the crime rate goes up, the government is trying, but people need to focus more on how to make the country better and stop talking about how its not an island...that doesnt help anything.

from a Bookshop/ Publishing Contractor
that is actually located in the Caribbean_
May they continue to receive more contracts!
They are providing a service & actually keeping Caribbean's not
outsourcing to keep the South American Guyanese employed
who just want to use the "caribbean" moniker to trick and
mask a south american location & draw caribbean business to them.
Guyana is not located in the Caribbean, nor is it the first Caribbean
Publishing house. It's a fake claim!

i can tell 99% of u here are poor wen it comes to geography , what you need to do is get that whole concept out of your mind that the caribbean is only ISLANDS!, there are countrys from south america aswel e.g Colombia,Venezuela,Guyana,Panama and so forth. They are all carribbean because they lay within in the caribbean sea regardless of language or culture.

It seems as thought a lot of persons just make comments for the sake of doing so. Where is the research? Before you start accusing and commenting it would be wiser to get more information as to why and how Guyana, even though lies inSouth America, it is still considered a part of Caricom. The Caricom Secretariat headquarters is in Guyana. People Please do your research before making foolish statements. By the way, Suriname is also part of Caricom.
