The political changes that have occurred in Grenada since 1951 are
unique, particularly within the Commonwealth Caribbean which has
had a tradition of stable two-party democracies, based upon the
Westminster system of government. This study attempts to explain
the dramatic shifts in political leadership that have occurred in
Grenada during the forty year period examined. Three leaders, Eric
Gairy, Maurice Bishop, and Herbert Blaize, each possessing
substantially different ideological orientations, held power during
this period. The factors responsible for their rise and eventual
loss of power are analyzed and explained through historical and
ethnographic research which was carried out in two stages: from
July to December 1982, and from August 1987 to February 1988.
