About Grenada: Revolution And Invasion
Product Description Grenada: Revolution and Invasion is a wide-ranging collection of essays by academics in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and the United States, each with a unique perspective on the revolution and its effects. Review “The work [includes] a number of well-researched articles about key issues related to the revolutionary period and its aftermath. These include argued discussions on the role of women and the press, the legitimacy of the American invasion and an insight into the contemporary political situation in Grenada. . . .The articles are well written and the scholarship is sound. . . . The work includes articles by some of the leading scholars of the Grenadian revolution and compares favourably with other books on the subject.” ― Bruce Paddington, Lecturer, Film Programme, University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago About the Author PATSY LEWIS is Professor, Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica.

All rights reserved. “The Grenada events of 1979–1983, especially the revolution’s tragic demise, brought the country to the world stage. Since then, Grenada has retreated to its place as a small state, with little significance in shaping the global political and economic landscape within which small states operate. Nevertheless, powerful resonances remain, in the island, regionally and internationally. This volume seeks both to remind us of the tumultuous past, drawing lessons for the present generation, and to begin to suggest possible political approaches for the near, if inevitably uncertain, future.” ― From the editors’ introduction
