After 1992 Guyana’s ethnic battle moved into bureaucracy and courts

Evidence

East Indians have mounted a significant claim to this space by wresting executive and legislative power away from segments of its creolized population in 1992. Since then, the campaign for control of the nation has shifted to the bureaucratic apparatus of government (including the country’s police and security apparatus) and to the judiciary. Both remain largely under Creole control (Hintzen, 1998). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3266
