Appendix 1 Talking Points for Ambassador Ortiz, April 10, 1979 Appendix 1 Talking Points for Ambassador Ortiz, April 10, 1979 —My government is aware of your concern over allegations that Gairy may launch an invasion to regain control of Grenada. —The conduct of any activities on U.S. territory aimed at overthrowing a friendly government are strictly prohibited by U.S. law and are a matter of grave concern to my government. —Neutrality matters are investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as criminal violations. The FBI is required to investigate alleged violations thoroughly to obtain the full facts, the identities of the parties concerned, and other available pertinent information. Such allegations are then relayed to the criminal division of the Department of Justice for its review. The Department of Justice then determines what actions should be taken by the FBI to further investigate the alleged violations. —The Department of State has advised the FBI of the possibility that Gairy might attempt to gather a mercenary force to invade Grenada and of the con- cerns of your government. —We do not yet have hard facts in this regard, only unsubstantiated allegations. —We are awaiting a determination by the Department of Justice on what action might be warranted. —My government will attempt to keep track of Gairy’s whereabouts and activi- ties, to the extent that it is proper and possible to do so. However, until the Department of Justice determines that surveillance of Gairy is warranted by the facts in the case, it is difficult to know where he is at all times, particularly since he is no longer under Secret Service protection. Gairy waived further Secret Service protection when he arrived in San Diego on March 20. —We would appreciate receiving from your government any information bear- ing on possible illegal acts on the part of Gairy in the U.S. —Although my government recognizes your concerns over allegations of a possible counter-coup, it also believes that it would not be in Grenada’s best 180 ● Appendix 1 interests to seek assistance from a country such as Cuba to forestall such an attack. We would view with displeasure any tendency on the part of Grenada to develop closer ties with Cuba. —It seems highly unlikely to us that Chile or Argentina would find it in their best interests to assist Gairy in launching a counter-coup.

Appendix 2 Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States’ Request for US Assistance in Grenada October 23, 1983 Your Excellency, The Chairman of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States presents her compliments to His Excellency the Ambassador of the United States to the Eastern Caribbean and has the honour to transmit herewith a request for assis- tance under Article 8 of the Treaty establishing the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. The Chairman of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States avails herself of this opportunity to renew the assurances of her highest consideration. Sincerely Eugenia Charles Attachment: Text of OECS’s Request for Assistance The authority of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) met at Bridgetown, Barbados on Friday 21st October 1983 to consider and evaluate the situation in Grenada arising out of the overthrow of the Government led by Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and the subsequent killing of the Prime Minister together with some of his colleagues and a number of other citizens. The authority is aware that the overthrow of the Bishop administration took place with the knowledge and connivance of forces unfriendly to the OECS lead- ing to the establishment of the present military regime. 182 ● Appendix 2 The meeting took note of the current anarchic conditions, the serious viola- tions of human rights and bloodshed that have occurred and the consequent unprecedented threat to the peace and security of the region created by the vac- uum of authority in Grenada. The authority was deeply concerned that military forces and supplies are likely to be shortly introduced to consolidate the position of the regime and that the country can be used as a staging post for acts of aggression against its members. The authority further noted that the capability of the Grenada armed forces is already at a level of sophistication and size far beyond the internal needs of that country. Furthermore the member states of the OECS have no means of defence against such forces. The member governments of the organisation hold the strong view that such a situation would further undermine the political, social and economic stability and would have extremely dangerous consequences for the preservation of peace and security in the whole OECS sub-region as a whole. The authority noted that the present regime in Grenada has demonstrated by its brutality and ruthlessness that it will stop at nothing to achieve its ends and to secure its power. Under the authority of Article 8 of the Treaty establishing the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, the authority proposes therefore to take action for col- lective defence and the preservation of peace and security against external aggression by requesting assistance from friendly countries to provide transport logistics support and additional military personnel to assist the efforts of the OECS to stabilize this most grave situation within the Eastern Caribbean. The authority of the OECS wishes to establish a peace keeping force with the assistance of friendly neighbouring states to restore on Grenada conditions of tranquillity and order so as to prevent further loss of life and abuses of human rights pending the restoration of constitutional government.

Appendix 3 Letter from the Governor-General of Grenada to the Prime Minister of Barbados October 24, 1983 Dear Prime Minister, You are aware that there is a vacuum of authority in Grenada following the killing of the Prime Minister and the subsequent serious violations of human rights and bloodshed. I am therefore seriously concerned over the lack of internal security in Grenada. Consequently I am requesting your help to assist me in stabilizing this grave and dangerous situation. It is my desire that a peacekeeping force should be established in Grenada to facilitate a rapid return to peace and tranquillity and also a return to democratic rule. In this connexion I am also seeking assistance from the United States, from Jamaica, and from the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States through its cur- rent chairman the hon. Eugenia Charles (Prime Minister of Dominica) in the spirit of the treaty establishing that organization to which my country is a signatory. I have the honour to be, Yours faithfully, Paul Scoon, Governor-General. Source: William Gilmore, The Grenada Intervention: Analysis and Documentation (London: Mansell, 1984), 95.

  • Research, Repression, and Revolution— on Montreal and the Black Radical Tradition: an Interview with David Austin
    THE CLR JAMES JOURNAL 20:1-2, Fall 2014 197-232 doi: 10.5840/clrjames201492319 Research, Repression, and Revolution— On Montreal and the Black Radical Tradition: An Interview with David Austin Peter James Hudson " ll roads lead to Montreal" is the title of an essay of yours on Black Montreal in the 1960s published in the Journal of African American History. But can you describe the road that led you to both Montreal and to the historical and theoretical work that you have done on the city over the past decades. A little intellectual biography . I first arrived in Montreal from London, England in 1980 with my brother to join my family. (We had been living with my maternal grandmother in London.) I was almost ten years old and spent two years in Montreal before moving to Toronto. I went to junior high school and high school in Toronto, but Montreal was always a part of my consciousness and we would visit the city on occasion, and I also used to play a lot of basketball so I traveled to Montreal once or twice for basketball tournaments. As a high school student I would frequent a bookstore called Third World Books and Crafts and it was there that I first discovered Walter Rodney's The Groundings with My Brothers. Three chapters in that book were based on presentations delivered by Rodney in Montreal during and after the Congress of Black Writers. So that was my first indication that something unique had happened in Montreal. My older brother Andrew was a college student at the time in Toronto and one day he handed me a book entitled Let the Niggers Burn! The Sir George Williams Affair and its Caribbean Aftermath, edited by Denis Forsythe.

Nguyen: The 1983 Invasion of Grenada The 1983 Invasion of Grenada by Phuong Nguyen (History 1140) he Invasion of Grenada in 1983, also known as Operation Urgent Fury, is a brief military operation that was heralded as a great triumph by some and harshly criticized by others. TAlthough the Invasion of Grenada is infrequently discussed today in modern politics, possibly due to the brevity and minimal casualties, it provides valuable insight into the way foreign policy was conducted under the Reagan administration towards the end of the Cold War. The invasion did not enjoy unanimous support, and the lessons of Grenada can be applied to the global problems of today. In order to understand why the United States intervened in Grenada, one must know the background of this small country and the tumultuous history of Grenadian politics, which led to American involvement. Grenada is the smallest of the Windward Islands of the Caribbean Sea, located 1,500 miles from Key West, Florida, with a population of 91,000 in 1983 and a total area of a mere 220 square miles (Stewart 5).

Vincent and St. The Windward Islands Colony was unpopular as Barbados wished to retain its separate identity and ancient institutions, while the other colonies did not enjoy the association with Barbados but needed such an association for defence against French invasions until Since Gairy was on the judging panel, inevitably there were many accusations that the contest had been rigged. The Justices and Vestry assisted a Commissioner appointed by the Governor of Jamaica to administer the islands. However, other terms may also be used to specifically refer to these territories, such as "British overseas territories in the Caribbean", [2] "British Caribbean territories" [3] or the older term "British West Indies". The South-South international cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean: a view from their progress and constraints towards a context of global crisis. Attempts at a federal colony like in the Leewards were always resisted. This sparked great unrest - so many buildings were set ablaze that the disturbances became known as the "red sky" days - and the British authorities had to call in military reinforcements to help regain control of the situation. Gairy also served as head of government in pre-independence Grenada as Chief Minister from to , and as Premier from to See, for example, A.
