Call for Contributors - History of Plantation Golden Grove and Plantation Nabaclis, 1746-2012. this is an appeal to those interested in researching and documenting the authentic history of the villages of Golden Grove and Nabaclis, from the era of the Dutch colonial occupation of the colony of Demerara in 1746 to marginalized communities of the modern era to present times, 2012. this exercise is based on the perspectives of the underprivileged class of the populace, thus the experiences of the working class people of the district. The idea is to write short biographical accounts of the outstanding individuals of the community… Breathe life into the unsung heroes; name the people with their occupation and era in which they functioned. Your name would be included as the source. In fact, you should write a statement which you would love to appear within the text. Also feel free to add the professions which are neglected herein.
