520	3		_aTrinidade and Tobago and Guyana are plural societies in the Commonwealth Caribbean in which two major ethnic groups, the Africans and the East Indians, vie for state control and power. Since the early pre-independence period en both these countries, electoral outcomes have reflected ethnic cleavages. However, this kink of ethnic divisiveness has not been confine to the political environment alone, but to a large extent has permeated the public sectors of these countries as well.
