- catalog abstract ""Cultural Power, Resistance, and Pluralism is a pioneering study of imperialism and the struggle for cultural survival in nineteenth-century Guyana. Drawing on a wide range of comparative historical, sociological, and anthropological theory and data, Brian Moore describes various institutions, customs, and beliefs in the Afro-Creole, Indian Bhojpuri, Portuguese Latin, Chinese Hua-Qiao, and Victorian elite subcultures that make up Guyanese society. He looks at the way British colonizers used their power to transform and submerge the cultures of other ethnic groups and establish their own cultural model as dominant and examines the efforts of the diverse subordinate groups to resist such cultural imperialism and retain aspects of their own traditional cultures. Moore argues that it is the intricate interplay of these conflicting and competing forces which determined the extent of socio-cultural integration or pluralism that the society as a whole achieved."--Jacket.".
