Grenada & Carriacou / Special Interests / Recommended reading
George Brizan has written a number of books about Grenadian history, and John Angus Martin has just added to the Macmillan Caribbean A-Zs with his A-Z of Grenada Heritage .
Grenada: A History of its People (Island histories) (Paperback) by Beverley Steele is a very sympathetic view on the island's tumultuous story from the Arawaks to Maurice Bishop.
Local history on Carriacou includes Folk Traditions Carriacou and Petite Martinique by Christine David.
There is a good book shop in St George’s, the Sea Change Bookstore on the waterfront on the Carenage.
