Rethinking C. L. R. James

4/5 ( ratings)

Born in Trinidad in 1901, C.L.R. James committed himself to the major radical political movements of our time - anti-colonialism, marxism, pan-Africanism, and post-colonialism. James also distinguished himself from intellectuals of his generations, by engaging seriously the popular culture of his day. Moreover, he converted his fascination with radio soap operas, movies, and cricket into a theorization of popular practices that show him to be one of the progenitors of contemporary cultural studies.
