AmaGuyya anamuhla yinzalo yengxubevange yezizwe ezihlukile. Bageleza igazi lezakhamizi zomdabu baseNingizimu Melika, baletha izigqila ezinombala omnyama, abokufika abavela eNdiya nakulabo abanqobi baseYurophu. I-symbiosis emangalisayo enjalo yaphenduka abaseGay kubantu abangajwayelekile, abamangalisayo abanomnandi okhethekile namasiko.
Indlela yomlando ye-Ethnos yayinzima kakhulu, kwakukhona indawo yomzabalazo, imibuso, isifiso senkululeko yobuwula. Yini i-guyans ethandekayo? Yiziphi izikhathi ezigqamile zesikhathi esedlule ezingaxoxa indaba yazo?
AmaNdiya nabahambi baseYurophu
AmaGayans ayinhlanganisela yezizwe, okuyinzalo yeqembu elikhulu le-Aravakov, eCaribbean, uVarrau, owayehlala eGuyana. Amadlozi aseGayansesiv ahlanganyela ngokuzingela, ukuqoqa, ezolimo.
Isimo sezulu sendawo savunyelwa ukukhulisa ngempumelelo amasiko amaningi, anikela ekuthuthukisweni kwesizwe. Impilo yezizwe zaseNdiya yakalwa ngowesifazane wayo, kodwa ekupheleni kwekhulu le-15, abanqobi baseSpain bafika ogwini lwaseGwian.
UGuyana unesifiso sabanqobi baseYurophu sebevele ngaphesheya kwalelikhulu leminyaka, baqala kakhulu ukukhombisa isifiso sokunqoba izwe lakwaGayans Dutch. Kudingeka sibanikeze intela, abantu ongabazi abafunanga ukubamba amaNdiya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaDashi ayefuna ukusungula umfelandawonye oqinile, anqatshelwe ukubuyisa emuva inani labantu baseNdiya laseGuyana ebugqilini.
Ngekhulu le-XIX, konke kuyashintsha futhi. UGuyana ungaphansi kwegunya lamaBritish, awo izinqubomgomo zakhe ezihlukile kakhulu emisebenzini yeziphathimandla zaseHolland. Okokuqala, isiko lendabuko nezinkolelo zakwaGayans zalimala.
Umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli waqala ukusunduza inkolo yangaphambili, ilungiselelo elivelele lathola ubuKathetisi kanye Porastantism. AmaBrithani akhiqizwa ngentshiseko amapulazi ezinkomo, ancishwe amaNdiya awo asemthethweni. Abamele izizwe zasendaweni bahlala bethola kuphela abasebenzi.
Ama-athrogan nama-indogenians
Emgqeni wesikhathi sethu, izici zamaNdiya nezise-Afrika zilandelwa ngokugqamile. Isizathu salokhu sasikhona nemicimbi yomlando. Ngesikhathi sokubusa kweHolland endaweni yaseGuyana, abanqobi balethwa ezincekwini zase-Afrika, ezazisetshenziselwa umsebenzi emasimini.
Lokhu kwenzeke ngenxa yokwehla kwenani labantu baseNdiya, ababengasetshenziselwa lowo msebenzi. Abathumbi obumnyama abanesikhumba ngazinsu bazame ukugwema ubugqila, bagijimela ezindaweni zokuhlala zaseNdiya, bahlala emadolobheni amancane. Namuhla, inzalo yabantu base-Afrika bazibiza ngama-Afrika, isukela egatsheni elikhulu labantu baseGuyani.
Lapho isigqila sekhanseliwe, isikhathi sabasebenzi abaqashiwe sasungulwa, futhi esasimele abantu abangabazi. Ngokuyisisekelo, babengamaPutukezi. Esikhathini esiningi, abahlali basePortugal babematasa emkhakheni wezohwebo.
Babesebenza eduze nabaseBrithani, futhi kamuva, abaningi babo baya eNgilandi, eCanada, e-USA. Noma kunjalo, banikela ngegalelo labo ekwakhiweni kwabantu baseGayansisv nasesiko lakhe.
Maphakathi nekhulu le-XIX, ukufuduka kwezakhamizi zaseNyakatho Neriya kuqala, amazwe awo aseBrithani, eGuyana. Babalelwa eqenjini elibalulekile labantu, ngokuzayo bedala elinye lamagatsha abantu baseGuyan.
Ngifuna ukuqaphela ukuthi esikhathini sethu amaGay ahlanganyela ngenkuthalo ekukhiqizeni irayisi. Lo msebenzi "walethwa" abafuduki base-Asia Asia. Namuhla, abantu base-Indoy bangumphakathi abaningi kakhulu phakathi kwabaseGayans. Inani labo lidlula abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingama-300. Iningi labo likhuluma noCreole.
Isiko Gayansev
Isiko Guyana libonisa kakhulu leyo ngxube yobuzwe yabantu, okwaba yisisekelo sokwakhiwa kwesizwe. AmaGayans aboleke eTrinidad Island Musical isitayela, ukungeza ngezimo zayo zobuhlanga, ezenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukudala uhlobo olusha ngokuphelele. Abamele abase-Asia bakaGuyan abantu abashiywe njengamagugu amasiko emiculo yaseNdiya, okuthi ekuhumusheni kweGuyan kuzwakala ngokuthakazelisa okukhethekile.
Izinkolelo ze-Vintage Guy, izinganekwane nezinsumansumane namuhla zethulwe ngesimo sezinganekwane zemilingo, abantu abangayikhohlwa ngazo. I-Rich Gayana Folklore yabangela ukuba nentshisekelo yababhali abaningi baseNeveli. Ama-GayAns ngabantu abangazwa kahle ubuhle. Baningi abaculi abaningi abathandwayo nabaculi phakathi kwabo.
Inhlangano yaseGuyana ihlala ngokwemithetho yayo, futhi imvamisa isimo somuntu sincike kwizinhlanga ezikhona. Iningi labesifazane liyabandakanyeka ekhaya, ngaphandle kokubamba iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kwebhizinisi. Ngaphandle kwalokhu, iningi labameleli bezocansi bezelelesi baziwa eGuyana, elisebenza ngempumelelo emapulazini abo.
Uma unesifiso sokujwayelana nesiko laseGuyana nezifunda ezingomakhelwane, kufanelekile ukuvakashela umkhosi weCaribbean wezobuciko bokudala. Kuleli holide, iningi lesimanje lihlangene ngokuphelele namasiko, futhi indalo eminingi yamakhosi ayakwazi ukumangaza ngempela ngisho nama-aesthetes ayinkimbinkimbi kakhulu.
AmaGayans angabantu abakhethekile. Umlando wamakhulu eminyaka adala onqenqemeni wawo ugcwele izehlakalo ezidabukisayo nezikhanyayo. Ngesikhathi umzabalazo omude wamalungelo abo, inani labantu bendawo, izigqila kanye nabafuduki abampofu bakwazi ukuhlanganisa, bafinyelele enhlanganweni eyodwa. Ngenxa yalokhu, isiko laseGuyan lifana namasiko avela ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zomhlaba, kepha ahlala eyingqayizivele.
