Far From Paradise

Far From Paradise looks at the Caribbean behind the tourist brochures: small vulnerable countries beset by poverty and injustice searching for a road out of underdevelopment. It traces the history of the area and looks at recent experiences of Jamaica Grenada Trinidad & Tobago and Haiti - and evaluates their differing approaches towards development. Other sections focus on the role of transnational corporations in the Caribbean the problems of regional integration and examples of alternative grassroots development.
