Greater hybrid integration makes Guyanese Amerindians less inclined to reject Creole nationalism.

Evidence

Because of this indeterminate relationship to Creole practice and to the national space, Amerindians have been less predisposed to nationalist rejection than their counterparts in Dominica. This is despite participation in international and local organizations of indigenous peoples (Fox and Danns, 1993) In Barbados, Creole society has deviated little from its original colonial construction. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3270
