The
New Joint Endeavor for Welfare, Education, and Liberation, or
New JEWEL Movement (NJM) was a
Marxist-Leninist vanguard party in the
Caribbean island nation of
Grenada that was led by
Maurice Bishop. Established in 1973, the NJM issued its manifesto prior to the granting of Independence to Grenada in 1974. The movement took control of the country with a successful revolution in 1979 and ruled by decree until being deposed by the US military after its
1983 invasion.
