The authors of this book have accordingly distinguished between predisposing factors and what are described as triggering mechanisms. The factors that trigger dramatic changes will differ between Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. In short, while in some respects these societies are similar, in others, there are dramatic differences in their respective histories and political developments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study begins with a survey of the literature on race relations and their connections with politics; it then proceeds to examine the context for the insertion of the two major groups into these societies, the emergence of ethnic groups, and their relationships with political organizations. The nature and politics of the leaders are then analyzed along with the political structures with a view to identifying what factors were responsible for the differing political experiences of both countries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Marie Bissessar, John Gaffar La Guerre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498511015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498511018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Ann Marie Bissessar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985911611647,"sku":"9781498511018","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69b00f4e-f57f-4821-968d-a080ff11fd16.jpg?v=1683280274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trinidad-and-tobago-and-guyana-ann-marie-bissessar-9781498511018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
