Dive in the heart of the Guyanese heritage(holdings)
Through this unique(only) collection.

In 2008, France-Guyana throws(launches) a new entitled column(section) " A name, a history(story) ". The idea is not to redo the exhaustive history(story) of Guyana, but to zoom, by successive keys(touches),
Over moments or fates, events and men(people), who made of the country what he(it) is today.
Narratives follow each other, make the reader travel from a place to the other one, always between two times(periods): the arrival of the first colonists, the French envoys who observe the slave company(society),
The sometimes very subjective impressions(printings) of the missionaries and the adventurers, the life of the brown Blacks and the Amerindians, the fevers of the gold-bearing adventure, the penal colony, the laborious arrangement(development)
Of the territory, and the succession(advent) of Guyanese with which the route(course) marked reports(memoirs).
More than 250 daily columns(chronicles) were published by France-Guyana in two years. Short texts, stuffed with anecdotes. They are now edited
