An often thrilling first-hand account of island politics in the era after independence. The St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) comes to power after 15 yeards in the wilderness and hardly settles into office before it is rent asunder by internal bickering over its leadership. In less than three years, the party is out of office again and both it and its main characters are fighting for their respective political lives. SHATTERED DREAMS is the story of the ups and downs of political activism and the personalities and events that shaped the emergence of the Caribbean island, for whose possession the English and French fought some of the bloodiest in this hemisphere in the 18th century. In SHATTERED DREAMS, Josie attempts to show how the rise to power in sister island Grenada of the Peoples Revolutionary Government (PRG) under Marxist Maurice Bishop in 1979 influenced super power involvement in the affairs of the Caribbean islands and could have contributed handsomely to the demise of both the SLP in the St Lucia and the PRG in Grenada.

Tennyson S. D. Joseph builds upon current research on the anticolonial and nationalist experience in the Caribbean. He explores the impact of global transformation upon the independent experience of St. Lucia and argues that the island's formal decolonization roughly coincided with the period of the rise of global neoliberalism hegemony. Consequently, the concept of “limited sovereignty” became the defining feature of St. Lucia's understanding of the possibilities of independence. Central to the analysis is the tension between the role of the state as a facilitator of domestic aspirations on one hand and a facilitator of global capital on the other. Joseph examines six critical phases in the St. Lucian experience. The first is 1940 to 1970, when the early nationalist movement gradually occupied state power within a framework of limited self-government. The second period is 1970 to 1982 during which formal independence was attained and an attempt at socialist-oriented radical nationalism was pursued by the St. Lucia Labor Party. The third distinctive period was the period of neoliberal hegemony, 1982-1990. The fourth period (1990-1997) witnessed a heightened process of neoliberal adjustment in global trade which destroyed the banana industry and transformed the domestic political economy. A later period (1997-2006) involved the SLP's return to political power, resulting in tensions between an earlier radicalism and a new and contradictory accommodation to global neoliberalism. The final period (2006-2010) coincides with the onset of a crisis in global neoliberalism during which a series of domestic conflicts reflected the contradictions of the dominant understanding of sovereignty in narrow, materialist terms at the expense of its wider anti-systematic, progressive, and emancipator connotations.
