	Guyana Caribbean Politics
		Odlum was the champion of grassroots socialism in St Lucia and the wider Caribbean.
		Odlum's current political strategy is to play the role of a sad victim, treated badly and unfairly by an unfriendly Cabinet of hostile colleagues eager to excise him from the body politic.
		Odlum had continued to act as if he should be showered with love and understanding from his colleagues at a time when his remaining political energy is being spent to bring about their political destruction.

	Special Feature By David Hinds
		George Odlum was one of St Lucia's and the Caribbean's most vocal and committed proponent of genuine people's empowerment.
		The image of George Odlum leaving the confines of officialdom to ground with the protestors at Seattle will forever be a telling demonstration of where he stood in relation to the people.
		It must be noted that George Odlum won elections only when he was aligned to one of the tribes-this is the nature of our politics; principle, policies and vision mean little when the battle for state power kicks in.

	Guardian \| George Odlum
		George Odlum, who has died aged 69 of cancer, was a key figure in the Anglo-Caribbean "new left" movement that rattled the Reagan administration and led to the 1983 US invasion of Grenada.
		In 1970, Odlum organised a secret conference of their leading lights, including the later-martyred prime minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop, on Rat Island, just off St Lucia's main tourist strip, where the demeaning level of local control enraged the socialist ideologues.
		"Brother George", as the talented orator came to be known, made his base among the island's small farmers, who produced the bananas that were then its chief resource, and led frequent strikes to improve their conditions.

	A tribute to George Odlum
		This to my mind was George Odlum’s principal political mistake- party politics, in particular electoral politics, in the Caribbean, have since independence been the graveyard of all positive initiatives.
		It must be noted that George Odlum won elections only when he was aligned to one of the tribes- this is the nature of our politics; principle, policies and vision mean little when the battle for state power kicks in.
		George Odlum’s political life is partly a tragedy—a Caribbean tragedy.

		George Odlum was born in Castries on 24th June 1934 and died there on September 28th 2003.
		Odlum, Peter Josie and their colleagues, supported by the Crusader journalism, lead the movement to create a new, more aware, more politicized, more responsible, St. Lucian society.
		A close study of Odlum’s writings during this period is needed to understand how he dealt with this time of general disillusionment, retreat of the left and the onset of middle age.
