How are the Guianas different from the Caribbean islands?

Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana are different in that they have traditionally been seen as isolated socially and culturally from each other and from the Caribbean neighbours. Furthermore, They are quite cut off from the South American continent in which they are geographically situated.

The reason from this disconnection may reside in the fact that The Guyanas are the only territories in South America that were once a colonies belonging to England (Guyana) France (French Guyana) and The Netherlands (Suriname).
