Guyanese Journalist Produces another Book!
Veteran Guyanese Journalist Edwin Ali has produced his third book,
entitled: Blazing a New Trail in Virgin Territory.” The 100 page full
color book highlights the country on the North Eastern tip of South
America as a paradise for travelers wishing to carve out their own
niche in the tourism sector. With more than 70 photos, the book
showcases the Mighty 741 foot single drop Kaieteur Water Falls, virgin
forests, the Essequibo River and the Rupununi Savannahs as well as
other areas of the interior.
The book will significantly open up the views of travelers world-wide
on the challenges that await them in the huge rain forests, and bring
them face to face with the large number of birds, animals, and the
largest eagle in the world as well as the largest alligator.
There seems to be a new trend where travelers prefer something other
than the sand, sun and the beach and yearn for something different.
Guyana is the ideal destination for them as they can blaze a new trail
for themselves, meet some of the challenges of trekking in the
interior and carve out a footpath in the jungle.
Historical monuments included in the book include the Stabroek Market,
St. Georges Cathedral, the Umana Yana, the Red House, the Lighthouse,
Parliament Buildings, the statue of Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow, the
founder of trade union in the Commonwealth Caribbean, and the Historic
City Hall, among others.
Ali has been practicing journalism for the past 50 years. His two
previous books are “The Rise of the Phoenix In Guyana’s turbulent
Politics, which covers 50 years of the political development in
Guyana. His second book was Muslims in American following The
Catastrophic Tragedy of 911.

Corporation and Correspondent for the BBC, Reuters of London, Gemini
News Service of London, the Caribbean News Agency, Radio Antilles and
