  Review of The Problem with Work: Feminism

  Marxism

  Antiwork Politics

  and Postwork Imaginaries.

  This article examines the encroachment of capitalist resource extraction on Amerindian lands in late colonial and postcolonial Guyana. Amerindians practiced sustainable resource extraction and horticulture along the coast and in the interior of Guyana long before the colonial era. However

  the ways of life introduced by European colonialism have been socially and environmentally destructive and unstable. The postcolonial era has inherited all of the contradictions of the colonial era

  and with increased investment in extractive industries during the fifty years since Independence

  the destructive impact of these industries on Amerindian life and land has increased as well. Extractive capitalism in the Guyanese interior has been characterized by miserable social and labour conditions for its workers

  and has posed a serious threat to the health and survival of Amerindian communities. This article argues that while Guyana has been deeply racially divided (historically and at present)

  ending the domination of extractive industry by national and international capital will require the involvement of Guyanese workers from all sectors and from all backgrounds acting in solidarity with one another. In order for development in Guyana to be socially and environmentally sustainable

  ownership and control of its extractive industries and natural resources need to be in the hands of its workers and indigenous people.
