Description

C.L.R. James is likely one of the twentieth century’s most remarkable individuals. As the writer of the influential book The Black Jacobins, he’s well known as the premier scholar of slave insurrection; the publication of his acute and sensitive volume Beyond a Boundary established an equal reputation as a historian of sport; and his tireless political and intellectual interventions have develop into the hallmark of a highly creative Marxist thinker, a brilliant dialectician and the last surviving pioneer of Pan-African liberation.

James’s work has never in the past been studied in its entirety. Now Paul Buhle, a longtime editorial collaborator with James, has produced a wealthy and informed analysis of his accomplishments. Drawing upon extensive interviews with James, his critics and his erstwhile supporters, in conjunction with many in the past unpublished documents, Buhle’s book offers an appreciative and enlightening portrait of the man and his times. The writer also sheds new light on subjects ranging across Pan-Africanism, West Indian literature, British and American Marxism and the upward push of third world nationalism.
