"Seeking to reorient the distorted gaze on this wealthy oil hotspot, LaBennett skillfully deploys Kamau Brathwaite's tidalectics with keen ethnographic sensibility and nuanced analysis as she sweeps up entangled histories of gendered racialization, extractive economies, and environmental degradation. Along the way, she reminds us of the constructive power of feminist autoethnography, the significance of demystifying the popular, and why political economy matters now more than ever. Global Guyana is both an urgent new Caribbean narrative and scholarly act of reclamation!"– "Gina Athena Ulysse, author of Why Haiti Needs New Narratives: A Post-Quake Chronicle"
