Grenadian PVOs are broadly distinguished into development and welfare organizations, the great nmajority associated with the latter. Within welfare PVOs focus is on the poor primarily, but not exclusively. Principal efforts are as­ sociated with traditional acts of mercy: feeding, clothing, emergency care and shelter, counselling. They are, gener­ ally, uinaware of funding opportunities and in-kind resour­ ces beyond traditional ones.

I aim to understand how Catholicism progressed from a white French imperial religion to one almost exclusively identified with Black Grenadians. To do so, I focus on the social status of Grenada’s Catholics of all races and classes as they struggled against the manifestations of imperial Britain in colonial society: political institutions, religious institutions, and most significantly the institution of slavery.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, It Is an Honour, and a Pleasure, to Be Speaking Today to This Founding Disapora Conference Here in Grenada
    Diaspora, Culture and Community: Ideas from the Washington Metropolitan Area Preamble Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an honour, and a pleasure, to be speaking today to this founding Disapora conference here in Grenada. I speak from the diaspora in the metropolitan Washington DC area. I acknowledge the presence of others here today from that area and the active participation of June Lendore, who couldn‟t be here today, in the preparation of the paper and discussion of ideas for this conference. Other metropolitan Washington area individuals saw and commented on the paper, so, although it‟s necessarily the work of a small group, the process of broader consultation has begun. We want this process to be as inclusive as possible. However, there are many who have not yet been consulted about it. We think of this as 1 guided by the diaspora but inclusive of the Grenada community at home, those who want to contribute to and help develop the idea. The term diaspora has come to be used to define people who live away from their homelands. So, today we are having a conference named a “diaspora” conference. The word “ diaspora” was first used as a way to describe the historic experience of the Jewish people, and then, in the fifties and sixties, scholars used it to define the experience of African people, so that the Caribbean, for example, was described as (partly comprising) an African diaspora. Gradually, the term has been used to describe the experience of peoples away from their homelands, and so there are Indian, Irish and other diasporas, and now, Caribbean diasporas, that is, Caribbean people living away from their homelands.
