Abstract
At the heart of the Grenada Revolution lay a fundamental tension between its democratizing and its authoritarian impulses. On one hand, the Revolution oversaw the expansion of organs of popular democracy. On the other, such organs were subject to the oversight of a small and tightly controlled vanguardist party in an increasingly militarized society.1
Socialism is a great script but with poor directors.
Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Cuban filmmaker
