Book Description
Why did the world's strongest power intervene militarily in the tiny Commonwealth Caribbean island of Grenada in October 1983? This book focuses on United States-Grenada relations between 1979 and 1983 set against the wider historical context of US-Caribbean Basin relations. It presents an in-depth study of US policy during the Carter and Reagan presidencies and the deterioration of relations with the Marxist-Leninist People's Revolution Government (PRG) of Grenada. It considers in detail the murderous internal power struggle that destroyed the PRG and the decisionmaking process that resulted in a joint US-Caribbean military intervention.

Book Description
Since the 1990s, literary and queer studies scholars have eschewed Marxist and Foucauldian critique and hailed the reparative mode of criticism as a more humane and humble way of approaching literature and culture. The reparative turn has traveled far beyond the academy, influencing how people imagine justice, solidarity, and social change. In The Ruse of Repair, Patricia Stuelke locates the reparative turn's hidden history in the failed struggle against US empire and neoliberal capitalism in the 1970s and 1980s. She shows how feminist, antiracist, and anti-imperialist liberation movements' visions of connection across difference, practices of self care, and other reparative modes of artistic and cultural production have unintentionally reinforced forms of neoliberal governance. At the same time, the US government and military, universities, and other institutions have appropriated and depoliticized these same techniques to sidestep addressing structural racism and imperialism in more substantive ways. In tracing the reparative turn's complicated and fraught genealogy, Stuelke questions reparative criticism's efficacy in ways that will prompt critics to reevaluate their own reading practices.

Book Description
Cuba's alliance with the Grenada Revolution of 1979-1983, led by Maurice Bishop, is the centerpiece of this pioneering and provocative analysis of Cuban internationalism. Based on thousands of pages of confidential Cuban and Grenadian government documents and eleven months of field work in Grenada, the work provides the first in-depth look at the lives of Havana's overseas aid workers. It details the social, economic and political impacts of Cuban civilian and military aid programs upon Grenada. New light is shed on Cuba's role in the October 1983 collapse of the Bishop regime and subsequent United States invasion of the Spice Isle.

Book Description
The Caribbean Basin Initiative, the most recent of a long list of United States policy initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean, continues to intrigue readers. This study is an analysis of United States Foreign Policy in the Caribbean and Central America in general, and Jamaica in particular with special emphasis on the Caribbean Basin Initiative. The study focuses on answering a number of important questions regarding the impact of the CBI on the economic and socio-political conditions of the Island-Nation brought on earlier by the turbulent US/Jamaica relations of the Michael Manley administration, 1972-1980.
