Beyond Independence Decolonizing Power | Guyana News

Sixty years after independence, the fight to truly decolonize our institutions is far from over—hidden power structures from colonial times still shape our world. From Marxism to Black Power, early leaders tried to break free from colonial thinking, but after the Cold War, ideology faded, leaving behind enduring systems of racial hierarchy, Eurocentric knowledge, and cultural norms that keep us playing catch-up. The concept of “Coloniality of Power” reveals how European-defined modernity, born in 1492, created lasting control mechanisms—from slavery to indentureship—that still dictate global inequality. To move forward, we must confront these deep-seated patterns, question our own biases, and build a future rooted in genuine equity and justice for all.
