He then delves into the arrival of the British, Dutch, and French, and their efforts to establish colonies in the area. The book examines the various economic activities that took place in Guiana during the colonial period, including the production of sugar, cotton, and other crops, as well as the exploitation of natural resources such as gold and timber.
