So far this year, our community study circle has discussed issues related to people’s organizations, people’s movements, and people’s parties in the Caribbean — examining how Caribbean states have served interests diametrically opposed to the Caribbean people.
This year the study circle has been guided by Maurice Bishop’s speeches, writings by the People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) Free West Indian newspaper, and other pieces critically examining Caribbean issues from from the 1970s to the present — we identify that the neocolonial power structures in many of the Caribbean states are fascist ones, of the kind Bishop warned about.
By studying the barriers facing Caribbean people struggling for collective liberation and freedom, we can more accurately assess what movements, organizations, and parties are up against in the region: complicit neocolonial governments and neoliberal parties, multinational corporations, and policing and military structures protecting the oppressive arrangement.
