Publisher Synopsis
"Order and Place in a Colonial City makes a valuable contribution to an understanding of a place often allowed to slip into the margins of both Caribbean and Latin American history. It is based on very thorough research in the relevant archives and libraries, particularly the repositories in Guyana, and as a result offers access to a great deal of original material of considerable interest to scholars in a range of fields."
