Grenada is an island country in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. The island was under the control of various countries starting in 1650, but finally became independent in 1974. In 1979, the Marxist-Leninist New Jewel Movement came to power, and in 1983, the government was taken over by a hard-line coup. Later that year, forces from the Barbados-based Regional Security System and the United States invaded Grenada in an operation code-named Operation Urgent Fury. The invasion was highly criticized by the governments of Britain, Trinidad and Tobago and Canada, along with the United Nations General Assembly. OSPAAAL (The Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America) is a Cuban political movement with the stated purpose of promoting the causes of socialism and communism in the Third World, fighting globalization, imperialism, neoliberalism and defending human rights. OSPAAAL was founded in Havana in January 1966, after the Tricontinental Conference, a meeting of leftist delegates from several nations. Many of the posters created by OSPAAAL featured multiple languages so they could be used for international audiences, and they often came in copies of OSPAAAL's Tricontinental magazine. The U.S. embargo of Cuba and the fall of the Soviet Union eventually caused considerable difficulty in poster production, and it wasn't until the 2000s that production was able to increase again. Artist: Rafael Morante Condition: very good. The poster has some edge wear at top (see our image). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
