The year 2009 marked the 50th anniversary of the Cuban
Revolution and the thirtieth anniversary of the Grenadian and
Nicaraguan Revolutions, and as such offered an occasion to assess
the complex legacies of revolutionary politics in the Caribbean.
This volume considers what we might learn from such revolutionary
projects and their afterlives, from their successes and their
errors. It explores what struggles, currently underway in the
Caribbean, share with these earlier and longer revolutionary
traditions, and how they depart from them. It analyzes radical
movements in Jamaica, Grenada, Cuba, Venezuela, Guadeloupe,
Suriname, and Guyana, not only in their national dimensions, but in
terms of their regional linkages and mutual influences.
The chapters are drawn from various disciplines and a range of
democratic leftist projects. They consider not only state and party
politics, but also civil society, cultural politics and artistic
production, strikes, and grassroots activism.
This book was published as a special issue of Interventions:
International Journal of Postcolonial Studies.
