Notes:
341 p, Studying cultural memory of the Grenada Revolution as it surfaces in literature, music, the visual arts, law, landscape, and everyday life, this book approaches the 1979-1983 Grenada Revolution as a pan-Caribbean event. Argues that in both its making and its fall, the 1979-1983 Revolution was a transnational event that deeply impacted politics and culture across the Caribbean and its diaspora during its life and in the decades since its fall.
