The Land Rights of Guyana's Indigenous Peoples


Book Description

This study concludes with an examination of legal reforms in the post-colonial period. It argues that while there have been some positive developments, notably in the recognition of indigenous land ownership rights, similar sensitivity has not been evinced towards other rights short of title. In certain instances, legislative changes may even be unconstitutional, given the entrenchment of key indigenous rights in the reformed Constitution.
