There is a great podcast about Jonestown to understand the tragic event. Guyanese don't like to talk about it because that was a horrific tragedy perpetrated by Americans against Americans.

I didn't know of any but don't bother reading anything about Jonestown, it's not a big deal here and no one really cares. You can visit if you like but it's pretty much grown over and not much to see aside from being able to say you were there. - Apr 2014
Great book by a British author (available on Amazon) called Wild Coast: Travels on South America's Untamed Edge
