Venezuela and the Caribbean
On 3 January 2026, US President Donald Trump announced the capture of President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela. Abandoning the rationale of “narco-terrorism,” Trump informed the world that the objective was to “run Venezuela” and to retake ownership and control of “America's oil” that had been unilaterally “seized” and “stolen” by Venezuela. This was in keeping with a new iteration of the Monroe Doctrine and its later respecification intended to own…

Reproducing Domination
Reproducing Domination: On the Caribbean Postcolonial State collects key essays on the Caribbean by Percy Hintzen, the foremost political sociologist in Anglophone-Caribbean studies. For the past 30 years, Percy Hintzen has been one of the most articulate and discerning critics of the post-colonial state in Caribbean scholarship, making seminal contributions to the study of Caribbean politics, sociology, political economy, and diaspora studies. H…
Introduction to the special issue
This introduction presents a special issue of Global Public Health with a collection of articles that offer multidisciplinary perspectives on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean. Since the 1990s, poverty, marginalisation, and social stigma have been strong foci of much social science research on HIV/AIDS in the region. These three interrelated phenomena have been offered as explanatory factors contributing to the high prevalence of cases observed in this r…
Precarity and the HIV/Aids pandemic in the Caribbean
The social stigma of sexual immorality is inscripted in constitutions, laws, and statutes in the Caribbean and justified and legitimated through references to Christian doxa. This induces forms of structural stigma through policies and practices of governance. I employ country comparisons to demonstrate the critical effect on rates of HIV/AIDS of structural stigma induced by these inscriptions in Caribbean countries. By comparing rates of HIV/AID…
Rethinking identity, national sovereignty, and the state
In what he terms ‘the dialectics of imperialism’ Harvey (2006, pp. 411–451) points to a ‘crisis’ stemming from ‘overaccumulation’ in the global north that creates a perpetual need for new markets

Existe un entendimiento ordinario que concibe la identidad diaspórica como el producto de un fenómeno colectivo de desplazamiento y de dispersión a partír de una tierra de orígen real o imaginada. Esta concepción ignora la manera integral por la cual las identidades son incrustadas en geografías nacionales, locales, sociales, culturales y políticas. Especiicamente, la identidad diaspórica emerge dentro de coyunturas históricas, sociales y cultura…

West Indian in the West
As new immigrant communities continue to flourish in U.S. cities, their members continually face challenges of assimilation in the organization of their ethnic identities. West Indians provide a vibrant example. In West Indian in the West, Percy Hintzen draws on extensive ethnographic work with the West Indian community in the San Francisco Bay area to illuminate the ways in which social context affects ethnic identity formation. The memories, sy…
Reproducing Domination Identity and Legitimacy Constructs in the West Indies
Emerging from the historical conditions of colonialism, educated elites from middle strata groups were able to mount successful challenges to colonial power almost everywhere. This was accomplished in the West Indies through the shaping and fashioning of an ideology of Afro-creole nationalism. The latter catapulted the political leadership of these groups into positions of control in post-colonial institutions of government1. Once achieved, such …
Creoleness and Nationalism in Guyanese Anticolonialism and Postcolonial Formation
Bases of Elite Support for a Regime
The attitudes, patterns of alignments, and composition of the most powerful and influential leaders in Guyana and Trinidad—selected by a two-stage positional-reputational method—are compared and the findings related to the different developmental strategies adopted by the two governments: third world socialism in the case of Guyana, and capitalism in the Trinidadian case. It is shown that clientelistic co-optation and, to a lesser extent, appeals…
Guyana
Many communally divided postcolonial states rely almost exclusively upon an effective machinery of control to ensure political order. This has stemmed from two factors: (1) unrestrained communal competition for votes; and (2) inheritance of a highly centralized state apparatus. The first condition has tended to politicize sectional cleavages, exacerbating distrust (Premdas, 1972: 19-20). Without a body of shared values in the state, protection of…

Domination and Power in Guyana
A Political and Social History of Guyana, 1945-1983
Originally published in 1984, this is a documented account of the political history of the former British colony of Guyana. Providing a reflection of the increasing involvement of the United States in the Caribbean and Central America on the long-term political, social and economic effect that intervention can have on the small states of less developed countries during the period of 1945 to 1983. The text includes a detailed historical account of…
The Costs of Regime Survival
This comparative study of two republics - Guyana in South America, and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean - examines the conditions which determine regime survival in less developed countries. Given the structure of political and economic organization typical of these countries, and of the web of international relations of which they are a part, political survival can very often depend on a leader's willingness to serve the interests of a small…
