| Abstract: | Janet Jagan: Freedom fighter of Guyana is a commissioned biography, the research for which began in 2019. It deals with the life of Janet Jagan, (née Rosenberg), a nursing student from Chicago, USA who married Dr. Cheddi Jagan, a Northwestern University dentistry graduate in 1943 and migrated to British Guiana (later Guyana) in that year. They both became involved in the political life of Guyana. Whilst Janet is the central figure of the book, the author recognises that it is virtually impossible to exclude her husband, Cheddi, from the biography. The Introduction lays the groundwork for the author’s appreciation of this biography. |
