The book examines how a system of differentiation and stratification, inherited from colonial times, persists in its essential form in the current time despite attempts to dislodge it. While not falling prey to a structural determinism, the book argues, based on the evidence provided through both a historical sociological review of historical evidence and a presentist analysis of cross-sectional data on business ownership, that actions which coincide with the logic of social structures tend to prevail over actions which take that logic for granted. It is for this reason that political and social players with grand ideals have been less successful in their attempts to bridge the social and economic divides in the country, than those players whose interests coincided with the structural divides.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Pluralism; Caribbean sociology; Guyana; Ethnic Stratification; Ethnic pluralism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-55352-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-55354-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-55352-3 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
