C. L. R. James

Description

C. L. R. James was a protean twentieth-century Marxist intellectual, widely

recognized as a pioneering scholar of slave revolt; a leading voice of Pan-

Africanism; a peripatetic revolutionary and scholar who was active in US

and UK radical movements; a novelist, playwright, and critic; and one of

the premier writers on cricket and sports. This intellectual portrait was

written by James''s longtime interlocutor and comrade Paul Buhle, and

initially published in 1988. With a new final chapter, updated

bibliography, a new foreword by historian Robin D. G. Kelley and a new

afterword by philosopher Lawrence Ware, this long-awaited revised edition

of a classic biography will be a key resource in the James revival.
