She was an early member of the executive of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) in Guyana, alongside Walter Rodney, among others, and served as Coordinator and Editor, International Secretary and Women’s Secretary, until 2000. A founding member of the women’s development organization Red Thread in Guyana in 1986, Andaiye was also an executive member of the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action (CAFRA). She worked with the Women and Development Unit of the University of the West Indies (WAND) from 1987 to 1992, and from 1987 to 1996 with CARICOM,where she was a resource person preparatory to the 1995 World Conference on Women held in Beijing. Other groups with which she worked include the Global Women’s Strike (GWS), the Women’s International Network for Wages for Caring Work, and Women Against Violence Everywhere (WAVE).
Karen de Souza and Alissa Trotz have created an incredible website dedicated to Andaiye’s life and work. The Point is to Change the World, an anthology of Andaiye’s selected writing, edited by Trotz, is forthcoming in 2020 from Pluto Press. Below we provide links to a number of tributes to and interviews with Andaiye as well as her editorial “An Open Letter to Young People,” originally published as a Women’s Eye View column in the Stabroek News in 1997, and reprinted in Alyssa Trotz’s In the Diaspora column in the same journal just after Andaiye’s death.

Andaiye: 11 September 1942, Georgetown, British Guiana — 31 May 2019, Georgetown, Guyana.The mercurial elfin polymath Karine Polwart’s Wind Resistance is a tour de force at the Lyceum Theatre. The one-woman show manages to express and articulate something about childbirth, death, grief, socialism, bird-sound, climate change and Aberdeen FC. This is poetry, song, story-telling and memoir. In her first stage production Polwart has not just created a wonderful new play, she’s created a new genre.
Wind Resistance is a glorious multi-textured mix weaving song and story-telling, but essentially it is a homage to place and belonging.
The script is rich in language with liberal use of Scots and Gaelic. But this is done effortlessly reminding us of what we lose when we lose language especially a language that connects us with place and is rooted in the natural world. She tells us: “In Gaelic, the word for skylark is fosg. It means, literally, open space, including the space above us. When I go to Fala Moor, I get filled up with space.”
Birds flit in and out of the play as we meet and hear pink-footed geese, skylarks, grouse and barn owls.
An album accompanies the production, ‘A Pocket Of Wind Resistance’ is the follow-up to her 2012 Scottish Album of The Year-nominated ‘Traces’, one of a series of collaborative projects from Polwart which combine elements of song with politics, ecology and science but with wit and heart and grace. She is an artist drawing on the Scots generalist tradition.
After her 2005 debut ‘Faultlines’, Polwart collaborated on the‘The Darwin Song Project’ in 2009 and last year’s ‘Songs Of Separation’ with Eliza Carthy, alongside ‘Sea Change’ in 2013, written as a response to climate change, and climate change is a background threatening theme in this work too. Karine has also worked with RM Hubbert, co-written with members of Portishead, and co-directed James Robertson’s ‘Pilgrimer’ production.
As she points out this is another collaboration working closely with sound designer Pippa Murphy who brings incredibly clear natural sound to the theatre. The quality of production brings the sharpness of Fala Moor to the theatre. In fact the meta theme underlying all of the diversity of stories she is telling is not just about the wonder of collaboration but the need for collectivism. This is a story about loss about love and death, about biodiversity and extinction. But if we are to escape and survive our predicament warns Polwart the only way out will be to re-learn collectivism: Socialism or Barbarism.
A crow is only a crow when it is on it’s own. As soon as it joins other crows it becomes a Rook. Polwart’s message is we have been crows too long.
This unique elegy – a tale of birdlore, sanctuary, maternity, goose skeins, and Scottish football legend deserves a longer run than its getting. Catch it while you can. You will be enchanted.

Heartbreaking and exhilarating. A brilliant evocation of where we are now, the more powerful for the understated compassion which runs through it.
Dinnae miss it!

Great review. But. Steady on. ‘A crow becomes a rook’? Living near a family of crows, I note they are intelligent, at times amusing, and very social. They sometimes spend time with rooks but don’t interbreed. They are separate species, sharing some characteristics. Regrettably, I’ve not had the opportunity to see ‘Wind Resistance’ but I can’t believe KP said crows could be rooks. Let me know if I’ve missed a point which was intended to be metaphorical or ironic. Maybe I’m a dinosaur. But on balance let’s start with facts! 🙂

No she didn’t say that I did. A rook is a type of crow. On its own its called a crow, en mass they’re rooks. Its just about being singular or collective.

Nice review:) I wondered if I had somehow missed singular crows and multiple rooks, but Karine certainly wove in a strong message about collective strength (though surely not better together?)Students have practiced multiplication word problems in the note books using Area Model and teacherÃ‚Â role modeled the format of writing statements and answer at the end.
Summative assessment on types of sentences was conducted today.
The students read a short story “A Forest Picnic” and framed questions using 5Ws and 1H strategy along with the teacher. They also framed few questions on their own in their language note books.
L.D: Week 16, day 4 was discussed in class.
Math:Ã‚Â to be done in Math note book.
Solve the given sums by writing proper statements and find the product using Area Model.
1. An octopus has 8 legs. Krish counted 5 octopuses in the tank. How many legs does the octopuses have in all?
2. There are 7 markers in a tumbler. So how many markers will be there in 3 such tumblers?
3. There are 5 petals in one flower and there are 6 flowers on a plant. So how many petals are there altogether?

Imagine a world with more space. Where you can hardly see machines, devices or automations because they are directly integrated into materials and surfaces.
Imagine electric bicycles whose tires get more grip around curves and form spikes in winter.
Imagine clothes whose breathability increases with your physical activity and which form protective cushions in the event of a fall, or shoes which widen when you get on the bike, strengthen when you are under pressure and give you more propulsion when you run.
Imagine furniture that adapts to your body tension and thus your daily routine.
Imagine buildings whose windows automatically darken depending on the sun's rays or whose façade insulation only releases stored heat at night to prevent the living space from heating up.
