Abstract:

In 1979, the New Jewel Movement (NJM), under the leadership of Maurice Bishop, took power in Grenada in a bloodless coup. With a political vision conjoining socialism and black power, the revolution in Grenada immediately drew the hostility of the US government, which began a programme of destabilisation. The leadership of the revolution sought to develop a highly participatory approach to political and economic decision-making that would enable the country’s workers and peasants to actively shape Grenada’s development. With popular education a priority, Chris Searle came to Grenada to teach. But he soon was invited to contribute to ministerial discussions, devising national education policy and creating a publishing house. He also helped to write Maurice Bishop’s speeches. In 1983, the US government took advantage of division and conflict in the leadership of the NJM to mount an invasion, ‘Operation Urgent Fury’, which restored to Grenada a regime more favourable to US interests.

Abstract:

In March 1979, the New Jewel Movement (NJM) transitioned into the People’s Revolu- tionary Government (PRG) through a bloodless coup that for a time revolutionized the structure of governments in the Com- mon-law Caribbean. This policy review seeks to consider the success of the revolution based on: its aim of developing and sustaining a grassroots democracy, emphasis on mass education and its expansion of agribusiness initiatives as a part of broader industrialization efforts. Through an investigation of some of the critical events, ideological frameworks and ambitious political objectives that briefly transformed Grenadian society from 1979 to 1983 this review illustrates the complexity of the political experiment undertaken by the People’s Revolutionary Government and argues that despite its short time span, the Grenada Revolution remains one of the most critical examples of revolutionary potential and radical self-rule in the twentieth-century Caribbean.

London: Macmillan Caribbean, 1993. ix + 210 pp. (Paper n.p.)The Grenada Invasion: Politics, Law, and Foreign Policy Decisionmaking. ROBERT J. BECK. Boulder: Westview, 1993. xiv + 263 pp. (Cloth US$ 49.95)The Gorrión Tree: Cuba and the Grenada Revolution. JOHN WALTON COTMAN. New York: Peter Lang, 1993. xvi + 272 pp. (Cloth US$ 48.95)These three books might be thought of as a second generation of studies concerned with the rise, rule, and destruction of the People's Revolutionary Government (PRG) in Grenada. The circumstances surrounding the accession to power in 1979 of the government led by Maurice Bishop, the nature of its rule, and its violent demise in 1983 resulted in the appearance during the mid-1980s of an extensive literature on the Grenada Revolution. Some of these works were scholarly, others polemical. But what they all had in common was the desire to examine, either critically or otherwise, something which was unique in the historical experience of the English-speaking Caribbean. Never, before the rule of the New JEWEL Movement (NJM) in Grenada, had a Leninist party come to power; never had a violent coup initiated a new political regime; never had a Caribbean government so explicitly rejected U.S. hegemony in the area; and never, before October 1983, had a government experienced quite so dramatic a crisis as that in Grenada, one which resulted in the killing of the Prime Minister and numerous others of his supporters.

Abstract:

On 1 January 1994, Mexico's awakening after New Year's Eve was rude to say the least, for that was the date chosen by a hitherto unknown guerrilla movement, the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (Zapatista National Liberation Army), to launch a simultaneous attack on several municipalities in the south-eastern Mexican State of Chiapas, and particularly on its jewel, well known to tourists — San Cristobal de Las Casas.

Abstract:

The new English translation of Paolo Rossi’s now classic study, Logic and the Art of Memory, presents a useful opportunity to examine contemporary efforts to understand what its subtitle calls “the quest for a universal language.” At the same time, an old seventeenth-century philosophical romance, Thomas Urquhart’s Jewel, affords a good test case for evaluating the success of those contemporary critical efforts — including Rossi’s own. First among contemporary scholars, Rossi made it possible to study seriously the seventeenth-century universal language movement by recovering the history of an idea — the pursuit of the so-called clavis universalis, the universal key to knowledge, from the ancient arts of memory to the Enlightenment’s philosophical language projects. While Rossi’s study has clearly withstood the test of time, since it still has much to teach us about the history of an idea — what Urquhart would call “pure eloquence” — his study has less utility in clarifying the status of that idea in history. Understanding Urquhart’s Jewel requires, I argue, two different forms of history whose interplay is always complicated: the history of ideas and the history of those politically charged engagements with ideas by authors whose situation at a specific time and a specific place brings meanings to their work that transcend epistemological concerns alone.

Abstract:

This chapter presents a narrative account of the tragic events of October 19 that led to the killing of Grenada’s Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and key members of his cabinet. It seeks to recreate the events of the day through the eyes of a junior member of the New Jewel Movement (NJM) who had been summoned to Ft. Rupert (now Ft. George) along with other members of the NJM. The narrative is based on an actual interview with a young woman in her mid-twenties a year following the tragedy. The piece is written from the perspective of the interviewee but shifts in the last paragraph to the perspective of the interviewer who provides the reader with some insight into her responses to the interview.

Abstract:

The politics of most Caribbean Left parties were influenced by the experience of the Grenada Revolution and its ultimate demise. This chapter examines the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) of Guyana, one of the parties with close ties to the New Jewel Movement (NJM), the party that led the revolution. The chapter looks at the relationship between the NJM and WPA before and during the revolution, including the impact of the revolution on the WPA’s fight against the Forbes Burnham-led People’s National Congress (PNC) dictatorship in Guyana. Finally, it draws a connection between the demise of the revolution in October, 1983, and the shift in the WPA’s tactics and strategy in the period following the demise.

Abstract:

This chapter analyzes Ronald Reagan’s decision to intervene in Grenada in October 1983 to remove the left-leaning New Jewel Movement from power. Plans for regime change began in earnest in mid-October after the sitting Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop, was ousted by hardliners, and culminated in a full-scale invasion on October 25. The evidence affirms the book’s central predictions, namely that the availability of two legal exemptions enabled the Reagan administration to pursue a public regime change. The first was the presence of endangered medical students enrolled in St. George’s Medical School on the island. The second legal exemption was an invitation for the United States to intervene to restore order from the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, a collective security regime. Senior officials relied heavily on these exemptions over the course of the intervention and beyond as a means of demonstrating the legality of their actions to allies and other friendly regimes.

Abstract:

Jeff Elliott and the author were part of the Earth First! movement, whose motto was, “No Compromise in the Defense of Mother Earth.” Earth First! married grassroots activism with the teachings of conservation science, which asserted that conventional politics can no longer be allowed to override natural laws and limits. When mainstream conservationists marginalized them, they engaged in stunts to draw attention to these suppressed ideas. Early in 1990, they changed tactics and became public observers of the Nash Stream Advisory Committee (NSAC). Initially unwelcome, they challenged the NSAC to produce a progressive management plan for the crown jewel of the New Hampshire Diamond Land Sale. In October 1990, while protesting a pond reclamation project in the Adirondacks, they were assaulted by conservation officers, who instead charged the two with assaulting them. Bill McKibben’s testimony before a grand jury helped save the two from jail time of up to five years. Surprisingly, this injustice earned them a measure of sympathy and respect. In December 1990, the author joined fifteen national, state, and regional conservation groups to form the Northern Forest Alliance (NFA). The NFA raised hope that political and ecological conservation groups might be able to heal the century-long Muir-Pinchot rift.

Abstract:

Abstract Momentum Space (Verve) by Dewey Redman, Cecil Taylor, and Elvin Jones—yes, the billing order is strange—was recorded last year and released several months ago with no fanfare and little serious response, pro or con. I have heard it denounced as disappointing, which makes me wonder how lofty are the prayers that haven’t been answered and reminds me of reviews of the 1961 collaboration between Armstrong and Ellington. Critics then were disgruntled because Ellington didn’t compose a concerto to mark the occasion; critics now embrace their meeting as a hitherto neglected jewel. I have also heard Momentum Space dissed as a rip-off because the full trio appears on only two selections, which is tantamount to spurning a great Monk solo because Coltrane laid out. The two selections, incidentally, total 30 minutes, more than half the CD’s playing time, though that’s beside the point. This is a considered, committed album—not an autumnal all-star caucus like the Giants of Jazz in the ‘70s, but a unique and artful collaboration. Even if the music and conceptual organization were less remarkable, this disc would be one for the books, as a detente deferred much longer than the Armstrong-Ellington sessions. The avant-garde movement that took shape in the late 1950s and 1960s was unparalleled not least for the distance maintained by the three principals: Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, and John Coltrane. That breach was only partly mandated by their discrete apprenticeships—respectively, in the conservatory, r&b, and jazz itself—and the routes they took in fomenting a new jazz. Parker, Blakey-style press rolls he employed to keep Coltrane on track while “Chasin’ the Trane.” In this context, they become waves for Taylor to surf. The intensifying trio consummates the euphoric madness of ‘60s free jazz, and even after Redman drops out, Taylor’s simultaneous bass lines and flashing chords create the illusion of a trio—Elvin and two Cecils.
