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:
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
