Reform and Revolution in Grenada, 1950 to 1981: Essay

by David E. Lewis

Reform and Revolution in Grenada, 1950 to 1981 is a piercing analysis of the political and socio-economic forces at play in the 1950-1981 Grenada. After placing the Gairy syndrome in its socio-historic context, it offers a keen account of the emergence of the New Jewel Movement. With a high degree of research and analysis, Lewis evaluates the practical experience of the Revolution until 1981 in its social, political and economic aspects, thus contributing to the understanding of non-capitalist ways of development of small economies in the Caribbean. Written before the events of October 1983, the book rests as a paper on a continuous and incomplete process of liberation.
