Was the Anglophone Caribbean condemned by its colonial history to
permanent conditions of dependency and by Cold War geopolitical
realities to international interventionism? In Dependency and
Socialism in the Modern Caribbean Euclid Rose focuses upon the
efforts made by the English-speaking Caribbean-through case studies
that compare and contrast the political economies of Guyana,
Jamaica, and Grenada-to break out of the legacy of colonial
dependency and underdevelopment through the implementation of a
Caribbean brand of socialism. The work considers the Caribbean's
adoption of Fabian-style socialism as an alternative to capitalist
development and how these socialist policies were impacted by
differences in infrastructure capacity, economic and social
resources and political agendas. It highlights the pivotal role of
race and class, and the hitherto little studied impact of religion,
on the region's political economy. Moreover, the study calculates
the impact of the global economy upon Caribbean socio-economic
conditions, and the ideological, geopolitical, and strategic
implications of the Cold War and the Caribbean's socialist
alignment on the nature, character, and intensity of British and
American interventionism in the region. A must read for political
economists in search of a greater understanding of the postcolonial
political economy of the Caribbean and Latin America.
