About the book

This novel was written within heritage research data gathered by three generations of women who lived in Demerara, British Guiana and Guyana. Research was drawn from oral history, archival records, historical reports, 19th-century newspapers in India and Britain, composite characters and events depicted in non-fiction scholarly articles, journals, and books written by Guyanese, Indians, and the general Indian Diaspora over the last four decades. In the Appendix of this book, an annotated bibliography summarizes a selection of these sources. In addition, a glossary of now Guyanese terms, maps, photographs, Immigrant ship's records, from the Guyana Archives, for Latchmini, Mohabir, and Radhia are included. Further, photographs of the Demerara Tower and the Demerara Depot, together with the plaque marking the Immigrants’ departure from Calcutta, India with an account of the creation of this plaque as detailed by its originator, Ashook Ramsarran, is contained with his compliments.
