Thank you for writing your book. The more I read and re-read it, the more valuable it becomes. Your labour of love is quite extraordinary and a source of historic preservation for the Grenadian people. As the 19th approaches, I wanted to reach out and say that your work speaks for itself and for a generation of Grenadians who are still living with open wounds (including members of my family). Your book is a reminder of the trauma experienced but most importantly, it opens spaces of/for healing.
Been following this project ever since a friend, A, over at freshmilk Barbados, introduced me to your work and I was able to find video of a lecture you did at the UPR some years ago. As part-Cuban, having grown up in the US, and a Caribbeanist, I find this entire project tremendously important, can’t wait to pick up the book and spread the word, congratulations Shalini Puri!
Thanks so much, Ian. I saw there’s a vigorous discussion going on in response to the Havana Times Review of the book at: http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=112578
Btw I’m an Engineering grad student at CU Boulder and a member of the Caribbean Students Alliance here. Only today I just got notice that the author lectured on the topic here. I am so sorry that I missed it.

Insightful. As a native of a different Caribbean island I knew little of those struggles in Grenada.

Hello Antoine,
Which Caribbean island are you from?
Best,
Shalini Puri
Beautiful book and multimedia project. I look forward to immersing myself in this treasure.
Thanks Shalini
Terrific website – loved the reggae poem! Wish the book the resounding success it deserves.
Love the sounds page! And how the story continues…
I love the hypermedia approach – text, images, sound. I’ll spend more time on the site.
Great looking website! I am looking forward to reading the book
