Omens of Adversity: Tragedy, Time, Memory, Justice von David Scott
Scott uses the failed Grenada revolution--an event I was old enough to remember but for a wide variety of reasons only knew the US side of it--to talk about time, tragedy, and politics. Revolutionary time relies on a progressive notion of time, a sense that things will get better "when the revolution comes" (to quote The Last Poets). What happens to that sense of time when the revolution comes...and fails? Really rich, even though it's a bit short.
