Description
For more than half a century, C. L. R. James (1901â1989)â"the Black Plato,â as coined by the London Timesâhas been an internationally renowned revolutionary thinker, writer, and activist. Born in Trinidad, his lifelong work was devoted to understanding and transforming race and class exploitation in his native West Indies, as well as in Britain and the United States. In C. L. R. Jamesâs Caribbean, noted scholars examine the roots of both Jamesâs life and oeuvre in connection with the economic, social, and political environment of the West Indies.Drawing upon Jamesâs observations of his own life as revealed to interviewers and close friends, this volume provides an examination of Jamesâs childhood and early years as colonial literatteur and his massive contribution to West Indian political-cultural understanding. Moving beyond previous biographical interpretations, the contributors here take up the problem of reading Jamesâs texts in light of poststructuralist criticism, the implications of his texts for Marxist discourse, and for problems of Caribbean development.
