This book blends up to date scholarship from primary sources with fascinating detail of its people and their often turbulent struggle for survival. It provides a detailed chronological historical anaylsis but focuses especially on the story and every day lives of its inhabitants from the earliest days of settlement to the overthrow, and execution, of the revolutionary Prime Minister Maurice Bishop in 1981, and beyond.

The Grenada Revolution in the Caribbean Present: Operation Urgent Memory is the first scholarly book from the humanities on the subject of the Grenada Revolution and the US intervention. It is simultaneously a critique, tribute, and memorial. It 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. Drawing together studies of landscape, memorials, literature, music, painting, photographs, film and TV, cartoons, memorabilia traded on e-bay, interviews, everyday life, and government, journalistic, and scholarly accounts, the book assembles and analyzes an archive of divergent memories. In an analysis that is relevant to all micro-states, the book reflects on how Grenada's small size shapes memory, political and poetic practice, and efforts at reconciliation.

Grenada is a small island nation located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, lying north of Trinidad and Tobago, and south of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The country is made up of three islands, namely Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Grenada has an area of approximately 348 square kilometers and a population of around 112,000 residents. The capital city of the country is St. George's, which is located on the southwestern coast of Grenada. The history of Grenada can be traced back to the arrival of the Carib Indians, who traveled from South America and settled on the islands around 800 AD. In the late 15th century, the Spanish arrived on the island, but they never fully colonized it due to fierce resistance from the Caribs. The French and British also had interest in the island and established settlements there. Grenada gained independence from the British in 1974, and it is now a democratic, multi-party state that operates under a parliamentary system of government. The economy of the country is largely based on agriculture, particularly the production of cocoa and nutmeg, as well as tourism.

This book, first published in 1984, analyses the background to the revolution in Grenada and details the course of its progress, examining the reasons why it faltered and failed. International factors played no small part in these events, setting the agenda for the internal processes of the revolution and bringing it to an end. The book also examines closely the US-led invasion of this tiny island and its aftermath.
