520			_a This paper, which is a draft, is a critical case study of how laws designed by the colonial state and maintained by sucessive states place Amerindians in a subordinate position within Guyanese society (and by extension within the wider caribbean). The author's caution regarding the need for further research notwithstanding, her thesis on the manipulation of Amerindian 'difference' warrants full attention. Particulary revealing are her observations about specialised (and legalised) discrimination against Ameriandian women's self determination in the conduct of their personal, business and civil affairs and of the function of such methods as a vehicle to achieve Amerindian assimilation.
