    For more than half a century, C. L. R. James (1901-1989)-"the Black Plato," as coined by the London Times-has 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. James's Caribbean, noted scholars examine the roots of both James's life and oeuvre in connection with the economic, social, and political environment of the West Indies.Drawing upon James's observations of his own life as revealed to interviewers and close friends, this volume provides an examination of James's 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 James's texts in light of poststructuralist criticism, the implications of his texts for Marxist discourse, and for problems of Caribbean development

    In this book, author Louise Cripps recounts her memories of C. L. R. James, a writer and lecturer from Trinidad, in London during the thirties and subsequent decades. According to Cripps, she is probably the only person still alive who can recount the history of those days. Cripps met James at a dinner party in London. James was a supporter of Trotsky, who had been expelled from the U.S.S.R. by Stalin. James and some dinner guests formed a group of Trotskyites who met at James's home to discuss world affairs. The group produced a paper to express their views. James always wrote the lead article. Cripps handled the production duties and wrote some of the articles. Later, Trotsky suggested that all the groups in London join the Independent Labour Party. When they did, all the publications merged with James's under the title of his own group's paper, FIGHT. The Independent Labour Party encouraged James to expand his considerable skills by also becoming an orator Cripps read and edited James's speeches and writings; she also proofread and edited his only novel, Minty Alley, and did research in the British Museum for his major work, The Black Jacobins. One night, James invited Cripps to go with him to see his friend Paul Robeson in Othello in London. It was then that they became lovers. He wanted to marry the already-married Cripps, but pregnancy intervened. However, she continued to see James until he left England in September 1938. After World War II began, Cripps and her son by her husband, author Bernard Glemser, to whom she had returned, fled to the United States. She met James again, and he repeated his proposal of marriage. Circumstances prevented their union, however, and they parted a second time. Cripps and James kept in touch through letters and the exchange of books, and there existed a lifelong tie between them. Near the end of his life, when he was lecturing in London for the BBC, he spoke of Othello She firmly believed that he must surely have remembered his Desdemona

    C. L. R. James: A Political Biography offers the first sustained account of the life and work of one of the twentieth-century's most important radical intellectuals. C. L. R. James (1901-1989) was born and raised in Trinidad and became one of the most prominent figures to emerge out of the West Indian diaspora. He authored numerous books and essays on Caribbean history, Marxist theory, literary criticism, Western civilization, African politics, Hegelian philosophy and popular culture. His best known works, The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution, and Beyond a Boundary are classics of twentieth-century thought. James played an active part in democratic movements in the West Indies and Africa as well as in left-wing and Pan-African campaigns in Britain, the United States, and Trinidad.

Following a two-week journey by steamer, he arrived in Oxford, England, a world utterly removed from the one he had longed to escape and to which he would never really return. This collection of letters gives us an intimate view of Naipaul's formative years." -- Jacket.

    "Works by Alfred H. Mendes: " p. 181-187

    The Portuguese creole author Alfred H. Mendes (1897-1991) was the most important member of the Beacon Group of writers in Trinidad in the 1930s, along with C. L. R. James and Ralph de Boissiere. He is well known as a writer of short stories and for two novels, Pitch Lake and Black Fauns, and was made an honorary D. Litt. by the University of the West Indies in 1972 for his contribution to the development of West Indian literature. Mendes's memories of life in the colony in the early twentieth century, his experiences as a rifleman in the Great War, and his brief but intense sojourn in New York City during the Depression are an invaluable resource for scholars. But "Alfy" Mendes had other sides as well: civil servant in British colonial Trinidad, businessman who traveled regularly throughout the West Indies and, especially, family man. His autobiography offers a unique private perspective of the man behind a popular West Indian personality. Levy has annotated the work, written an introduction to place the writer in his time and his place in West Indian literature and compiled a bibliography of his works. Of interest to students of West Indian literature and postcolonial studies

    For more than half a century, C. L. R. James (1901-1989)-"the Black Plato," as coined by the London Times-has 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. James's Caribbean, noted scholars examine the roots of both James's life and oeuvre in connection with the economic, social, and political environment of the West Indies.Drawing upon James's observations of his own life as revealed to interviewers and close friends, this volume provides an examination of James's 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 James's texts in light of poststructuralist criticism, the implications of his texts for Marxist discourse, and for problems of Caribbean development
