(1948) - In Nobody's Backyard - Maurice Bishop
Maurice Bishop was a prominent anti-capitalist Grenadian Prime Minister. He fought hard for many pressing issues such as worker's rights, women's rights, and the overall fight against racism and apartheid. In Nobody's Backyard is a compilation of 21 different speeches he made during his political career. They are powerful and thought-provoking, calling people to action by fighting against imperialism, and moving towards social justice. His worldview was shaped by his intense desire to help his people and to shape a better Grenada, which he accomplished through leading the political party, the New Jewel Movement.
We are confident that a well organised and conscious people can never be frightened, can afford to be brave, can afford to stand on our feet and face the world. In any event, revolutionaries do not have the right to be cowards. We have to stand up to fight for our country because this country is ours. It does not belong to anybody else.
