Three Years of the Grenadian Revolution. Speeches of Maurice Bishop

In 1979, the Caribbean country of Grenada had what Fidel Castro called “a big revolution in a small island”. Although later falling to a combination of internal division and US intervention, the record of its struggle remains profoundly relevant for those concerned with social change in the Third World.

This book presents some of the most important speeches of the leader of the revolutionary government, Maurice Bishop. He explains the problems that confront a revolution in a small, underdeveloped country, what the Grenadian revolution was trying to accomplish, and how it coped with the hostility of its giant neighbour, the United states. Also included are background material and an introduction explaining the origins and achievements of the Grenadian revolution.

Here is a wide-ranging look into the process of the first anti-imperialist revolution in an English-speaking country. It provides valuable insights for everyone concerned with social change and the struggle against oppression.
