A~Z of Grenada Heritage

 

 

The A-Z of Grenada Heritage gives a guided tour of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, three of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. Every aspect of Grenadian history, geography, culture and society is covered: from Anansi Stories to the Big Drum Dance; from the Grand Etang National Park to Grand Anse Beach; from Hurricane Ivan to the US Intervention and from Fedon's Rebellion to Maurice Bishop. The islands' culture come alive as it weaves through the natural environment, while personalities create history in their everyday lives. Over 350 years of heritage are crammed into one volume, capturing, in great detail, the natural beauty, historical conflicts and cultural diversity of the Caribbean's Spice Island.

 

Drawing from scholarship in agriculture, anthropology, botany, economics, history and literature, and experiences in the Caribbean and West Africa, the author has produced this authoritative and comprehensive compilation.

 

This A-Z aims to be the definitive reference guide to the cultural heritage of Grenada.
