"This book looks at the phenomenon of Guyanese migration with elegance and sensibility, bringing to light the intricate relationship between intimate affects and broader socio-economic issues. Competing Power is timely, well-written, and engaging." * Federica Guglielmo, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine"This is a highly original study... The reader learns about individual and group, formal and informal, and regular and innovative means of dealing with power, often never explored and exposed in such compelling detail." * Judith Okely, University of Oxford
