UCL Americas seminar: Beyond Tragedy: The Grenada Revolution, Remembrance, and Renewal

That amnesia about the Grenada Revolution is a problem is widely recognized. But what is asked less often is: What does the predominant focus on the tragic fall of the Grenada Revolution in 1983 leave out? What do other genres of memory enable? How do they think their way out of and beyond tragedy? While the state, law, and politics undoubtedly have a role to play in reconciliation and renewal in Grenada, the arts and the everyday practices of ordinary people offer possibilities beyond the absolutes of politics, policy, and polemics.
