Drawing from ethnographic material based on long-term research, this volume considers competing forms of power at micro- and macro-levels in Guyana, where the local is marked by extensive migration, corruption, and differing levels of violence. It shows how the local is occupied and re-occupied by various powerful and powerless people and entities ("e;big ones"e; and "e;small ones"e;), and how it becomes the site of intense power negotiations in relation to external ideas of empowerment.
