A History of Creole Trinidad, 1956-2010: A Decade of Revolution: 1986, 1990, 1995 [This chapter gives an account of the decade of changes which followed from the removal from office of the PNM in 1986 by the multi-racial coalition, the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR).

Abstract

[This chapter gives an account of the decade of changes which followed from the removal from office of the PNM in 1986 by the multi-racial coalition, the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR). It outlines the resistance the new government met in a society inured to PNM rule and culture, the fracture of the coalition, and the exit of the Indian party. The decade culminates in the coup attempt of 1990, staged by a Muslim fundamentalist sect, the Jamaat Al Muslimeen. The increased visibility of the Indian community is illustrated, and the growth of the Indian political party, the United National Congress (UNC), which emerged after the collapse of the NAR. The chapter also examines the resistance to the Indian presence in the public sphere (in the launch of an Indian radio station) and the moral vacuum which led to the search for moral instruction in US soap operas.]
