Professor Emeritus Jay Mandle’s book Essays on the Political Economy of the Anglophone Caribbean was launched at an online event at the University of Guyana on Oct. 19, 2026. At the launch, Professor Paget Henry of Brown University spoke, as did Dr. Vanus James, a former senior adviser at the United Nations Development Program.
Professor Mandle also addressed the attendees, noting that Henry, James, and he were in agreement that learning was central to economic development. The dean of the faculty of social sciences, Dianna DaSilva-Glasgow, PhD, closed the program by expressing the hope that the book would find its way into classrooms and discussions of Caribbean development.
