Culture Of Guyana
Guyanese culture reflects the influence of African, Indian and Nepalese, Amerindian, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and British cultures.
Guyana is one of a few mainland territories of South America that is considered to be a part of the Caribbean region. Guyanese culture shares many commonalities with the cultures of islands in the West Indies, particularly in the coastal regions of the country (where the majority of the population is concentrated). Connections to other South American cultures also play an important part in Guyanese culture. The influence of Brazilian culture, for example, is particularly visible in the south of the country.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“I’ve finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
