Introduction: Revisiting the Grenada Revolution - History, Politics and Culture

This special volume of Latin American Perspectives uses the benefit of forty-six years of hindsight and insights gleaned in the aftermath of the Grenada Revolution (1979-1983) to revisit critical discourses on Grenada’s revolutionary histories, its politics and society. It aims to explore Grenadian and Caribbean scholarship by interrogating the memory of the Grenada Revolution through new lenses focusing on biographies on revolutionary figures, the haunts of history, solidarity, polarities and tensions, regionalism, culture and memory, performances and documentary film. This volume captures interdisciplinary insights on the Grenada Revolution in a new time, spanning four decades of history, politics, culture and development in post-revolutionary Grenada.
