The Struggle in Grenada
One of Grenada’s most important slogans during the four-and-one-half-year life of its New Jewel Movement Government was “Forward Ever, Backward Never.” More than ever, that slogan should guide us now as we attempt to comprehend the tragic and complex events of October 1983.

Letter of Reference
You were my oldest-lasting friend but that’s now severed, The divorces simultaneous, your black brother, your white wife, One potato two potato three potato four. Consider this a letter, elegy if you will, For something perished, for the heavy tree Root bound, trapped, swarmed by rats. I will not save you. The debt of blackness that I owe you has been eased, Many thousands gone. Brash, black and Brooklyn-hip, The leverage tilted to you, yours the…

Though one is tempted to credit the pill as the key to change in sexual morality, the decision to develop and promote the pill was a key factor, and …

Impressions of Cuba: Revolutionaries and Poets
wound our way back to Havana through the tangle of back roads that had taken us to Los Naranjos. Though our car was an old Ford Falcon, its engine was drum tight. (This model had been manufactured through the early '70's in Argentina. Cuba had picked up a batch of them after one of its bumper crops in the early 70's.) Los Naranjos had an almost idyllic quality as a little village; new, clean, wellconstructed, with the harmony that comes from the …

The Case for the Independence of Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States—and has been ever since the U.S. government militarily invaded the island in 1898. While the U.S. government has designated Puerto Rico as a “freely associated state,” and while it is true that the Puerto Rican people elect their own governor and legislators, all aspects of Puerto Rican life are dictated and regulated by the laws and agencies of the U.S. government. For example, Puerto Rico is not repr…
