A Revolution Aborted: The Lessons of Grenada

Pitt Latin American Studies

by Jorge Heine (Editor)

Twelve essays address the political and cultural features of the Grenada experience, in light of the 1979 uprising that toppled Prime Minister Eric Gairy, and the subsequent U.S. invasion of 1983. The contributors discuss theoretical issues that go to the heart of dilemmas faced by many small, developing societies.
