Beskrivning

This book brings together leading critics to explore the work of CLR James, the world-famous Caribbean intellectual. An examination of the wide impact that CLR James has had on contemporary thought -- as a historian, novelist, cultural and political theorist and activist. The authors reinvigorate James's inspiring critical output, with particular reference to the impact he has had on cultural studies. Examining James' overlap with other theorists, such as Lacan and Gramsci, the book also shows how racial identity and cultural politics are key themes in his work, not to mention his unique writings on cricket.
