Ramraj: An Amazonian Fantasy
Ramraj: An Amazonian Fantasy is a tribute to the courage of native peoples everywhere. Each day, their communities face onslaught from external forces. It could be the machines that fell trees, miners whose dredges pollute the rivers, the towering presence of hydro-electric dams, or other man-made projects.
Set in Guyana’s Amazon, the writer uses dreams, fantasies, and the surreal, and offers a fascinating story to show that for native peoples, a healthy habitat is essential for the preservation of the planet. The writer attests further that their unique systems of governance, or Ramraj, has relevance for development in a much wider context.
