From the inner sleeve:

The unusual relationships that develop in a colony from rivalry among the traditional, the charismatic, and the legal domination systems are examined in this study of a political leader – the “hero” – who emerges during the stage of terminal colonial rule. Mr. Singham believes that the political conflict which results from the three systems’ rival claims to legitimacy cannot be resolved because of fundamental contradictions within the colonial polity. Thus the crisis phenomenon is inherent in the colonial situation, and the political system is bound to be unstable. These theoretical propositions are weighed against the career of E.M. Gairy, a central figure in the 1962 crisis of Grenada, the smallest of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean.

Histoire de l’isle de Grenade en Amérique: 1649-1659

Roget, Jacques Petitjean, Histoire de l’isle de Grenade en Amérique: 1649-1659, Manuscrit anonyme de 1659, présenté et annoté par Jacques Petitjean Roget; Texte établi par Élisabeth Crosnier; Montréal: Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal, 1975.

Ecrite au XVII siècle par l’un des témoins de la première occupation européenne de l’ile de Grenade, cette chronique retrace les dix premières années des établissements français dans cette ile. Outre une foule de détails, elle apporte des documents particulièrement importants sur la nature des rapports entre les Européens nouveaux venus et les Indiens qui habitaient dans les iles. A la différence d’autres chroniqueurs, l’auteur ne masque pas les conflits et les abus de confiance qui ont eu lieu des les premiers contacts. Il s’inscrit a cet ‘égard en faux contre certains des ouvrages les plus connus, comme celui de Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre. Signale dans quelques bibliographies, mais porte disparu depuis bien des années, ce manuscrit inédit retrouvé par hasard est l’une des sources de l’histoire de la colonisation française en Amérique.

Written in the seventeenth century by one of the witnesses of the first European occupation of the island of Grenada, this chronicle traces the first decade of the French settlements in this island. Besides a wealth of detail she brings particularly important documents on the nature of the relationship between European newcomers and the Indians who lived in the islands. Unlike other reviewers, the author does not hide the conflicts and abuse of trust that occurred on the first contact. It has registered this respect faux against some of the best known works, such as Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre. Reported in some bibliographies, but missing for many years, this unpublished manuscript found by chance is one of the sources of the history of French colonization in America.
