Grenada – Forward Ever: The Caribbean As A Zone Of Peace

November 6, 2025 Kwabena Dennot Nyack, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
I am writing from a small country that once dared to imagine a different world. Grenada’s 1979 Revolution (the Revo’) offered a vision of dignity, solidarity and people’s power that still resonates today. Described by a 2019 Tribune Magazine article as “…a socialist revolution in the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada threatened to upturn the world economic order…”, the Revolution sought to bring about real change for its people and the world. When we said “Forward Ever, Backward Never”, it was not a slogan but a declaration of faith in our own humanity.

Forward Ever, Backward Never: Grenada’s Revolution At 40

March 13, 2023 Ronan Burtenshaw, Tribune Magazine. , , ,
When Maurice Bishop, the revolutionary Grenadian leader, appeared at Hunter College in Brooklyn, New York in August 1983, the Reagan administration was worried. Four years earlier, in 1979, a socialist revolution had installed Bishop’s New Jewel Movement (NJM) in power in the Caribbean microstate of less than 100,000 people. A state department report from the time summarised the Americans’ concerns. The revolution in Grenada, it said, was in some ways even worse than the Cuban Revolution that had rocked the region a quarter of a century earlier: the vast majority of Grenadians were black, and therefore their struggle could resonate with thirty million black Americans; and the Grenadian revolutionary leaders spoke English, and so could communicate their message with ease to an American audience.
