"Seeks to determine manner in which colonial elite used culture and consensus of values to maintain their hegemony, and examines responses of the subordinate groups to these initiatives and nature of the resulting cultural fabric. His conclusion - that 19th-century Guyanese society consisted of a number of 'discrete cultural sections which shared very little with one another other than a common commitment to making money in the plantation society' - suggests the presence of acquisitive materialism that now inhibits growth of consensus-building mechanisms at the national level"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
