Cyril Dabydeen (October,1945) is a writer who was born in the Canje, Guyana, a locality that also produced his contemporaries Arnold Itwaru and Jan Shinebourne. He grew up in a sugar plantation with the sense of Indian indenture rooted in his family background (he grew up with his mother and with a grandmother-in an extended family of aunt, nieces, nephews). He is a cousin of the UK writer David Dabydeen.
