Unprofitable Servants
A study of governmental slaves in Berbice from 1803 to 1831. The author illustrates that the imperial government arrived at the general abolition of slavery throughout its colonies in a rather ad hoc and piecemeal fashion. He also raises questions about the government's commitment to abolition.
A Grammar of Berbice Dutch Creole
The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.

80 YEARS OF BERBICE CRICKET-1939 to 2019: Simply the Best
In observance of the 80th Anniversary - 1939 to 2019- of the founding of the Berbice Cricket Board, in Guyana, and especially to supply the tools for the teaching and educating of the youths attending the Annual Academy and others, Mortimer George has artfully assembled numerous historical facts and figures of cricket activities in Berbice and Guyana. Among other things, he has prepared a collection of fifty eight Berbicians--including Test and First Class cricketers, administrators and others--whom he has listed as Simply The Best.
Once Upon A Time In Berbice
For a truly humorous, intriguing, and exciting West Indian adventure, follow the lives of mischievous eleven-year-old Milo Teekasingh, his older siblings Reena and Sunil, his rowdy friends from the Yard, Tillam, Moppa, Spanner, Dillip, Squingee and Chinee Roy, as Milo and his family move to New Amsterdam to live with his money-hungry Aunty Doogoo and her family.
Guyana
South America's often overlooked English-speaking country lies far off the well-trodden tourist path. Guyana is the ideal destination for the discerning visitor seeking adventure. Within its vast interior, the Guiana Shield (one of the four pristine tropical rainforests left in the world) converges with the Amazon Basin, creating a unique geography composed of coastal waters, mangroves, marshes, savannas, mountains and tropical rainforests.Bordered by Venezuela, Brazil, Suriname and the Atlantic Ocean, the lively locals - a melting pot of East Indian and African descendants, peppered with Chinese, Europeans and Amerindians - create a culture decidedly more Caribbean than Latin.
Berbice Crossing
Cyril Dabydeen brings a poet's vision to these stories which span the crossing between the Caribbean and North America. They have a surface of gritty realism, but move inwards to explore the hidden dreams and latent capacities of his characters. Whether in the unsettling landscapes of rural Berbice in Guyana (with its ferocious crocodiles and even a spliff-toting Rasta), the wilderness of the Canadian North, or the urban melting pot of Toronto, Dabydeen's characters are memorably alert to what makes them feel either at home or alien in their various landscapes. Ranging from the extremely funny to the tragic, these stories are full of poetry, tension and sometimes terror. Cyril Dabydeen involves the reader creatively in a world of shifting grounds. Cyril Dabydeen was born in Guyana in 1945. He migrated to Canada in 1970. He is the author of almost a dozen collections of poetry, two novels and six collections of short stories.
