Was the Anglophone Caribbean condemned by its colonial history to permanent conditions of dependency and by the Cold War geopolitical realities to international interventionism? In "Dependency and Socialism in the Modern Caribbean" Euclid Rose focuses upon the efforts made by the English-speaking Caribbean - through case studies that compare and contrast the political economies of Guyana, Jamaica and Grenada - to break out of the legacy of colonial dependency and underdevelopment through the implementation of a Caribbean brand of socialism. The work considers the Caribbean's adoption of Fabian-style socialism as an alternative to capitalist development and how these socialist policies were impacted by differences in infrastructure capacity, economic and social resources and political agendas. It highlights the pivotal role of race and class, and the hitherto little studied impact of religion, on the region's political economy.
