Reader Reviews

This book can stand alone as a thought stimulator for forging critical analysis on African consciousness! It is a compelling read fusing Historical universal markers and Ancestral cultural religious snap shots enhanced by poetic submissions that breathe life into the reality of Being African. This phenomenon is synonymous with All Beings for “She” who has no name is woven and standing “Uprlght” within “All Planetary Beings”! Arnold Patrick Bathersfield

CONNECTNG WITH MY AFRICAN ROOTS

Reading your book was quite a history lesson. Thanks for making us, the readers, more aware of our African ancestry and the few ups and downs of being hyphenated Africans, Guyanese and Americans throughout these years since enslavement of our people. Thank you for giving me the privilege of reading this masterpiece. (Quite a history lesson) Dr. Carmen Bovell

CONNECTING WITH MY AFRICAN ROOTS

“Connecting with My African Roots” by Dr. Carmen Barclay Subryan can stand alone as a thought stimulator for forging critical analysis on Afrikan consciousness! It is a compelling read fusing Historical universal markers and Ancestral cultural religious snap shots enhanced by poetic submissions that breathe life into the reality of Being Afrikan. This phenomenon is synonymous with All Beings for “She” who has no name is woven and standing “Upright” within “All Planetary Beings”!…

Compelling read!

Petamber Persaud  Guyana Times International  August 31 2018 Excerpt…… In her eighth book, Carmen Barclay Subryan has pushed the boundaries of her writing to another level after safely writing about what she knows and successfully canvassing through the genre of historical fiction mainly. The book is divided into two contrasting parts consisting of chapters one to six where she remembers and looks forward to enjoying some of those good old days and chapters seven…

Stepping on Cracks Reflections on my Homeland

In this series of short stories, the author has captured a great deal of historical information about the Upper Demerara River area, including influences on the lives of the inhabitants living there mainly during the 1960’s. This book is not only a cogent reminder of my roots but also of my youthful days in Linden.

Finding My Roots

Dr. Subryan’s stories span her years from adolescence to adulthood, and in that sense FINDING MY ROOTS AND OTHER STORIES is an “epic” work. It is of note that her quest begins with a story having the same name as her book. All of the stories that follow are significant secondary roots that help to firmly anchor her to Mackenzie, the Guyana place of her birth. Dr. Subryan’s quest is not a lonely one–readers…

FINDING MY ROOTS AND OTHER STORIES is an “epic” work

It is a surest sign of maturity when a people begins to represent themselves and their environment decidedly from their own points of view. Dr. Carmen Subryan’s books center on Linden, up the Demerara River in Guyana, South America, beginning long before it ever recognized itself as Linden, or even as a single community. Her work constitutes a distinctive addition to the Guyanese and Caribbean repertoire of ourselves. The ten short stories in this…

Collage of Life

This collection of short stories is brilliantly composed. It traps the essence of the history, culture, and aspects of the socioeconomic dynamics of the city of Linden/Mackenzie, one of the foremost of our mining towns in Guyana, South America. If stories can be considered cultural biopsies, then Dr. Subryan has produced a laboratory in which important and deliberate probing, processing, as well as culturing will go on without end.

Brilliantly Composed

A great read. Janice Beaman  

Stepping on Cracks

Stepping on Cracks is quite a complex work that does not follow the regular mold for a novel, but Doreen in the center holds together all of what appear to be digressions to form one compelling read.  Much of what compels the reader is not the major conflicts she has with her sister or lesser ones she has with other characters here and there but with her inner self, as she remembers what the…
