C.L.R. James is one of the twentieth century's most remarkable individuals. As the author of the influential book The Black Jacobins, he is widely recognized as the premier scholar of slave revolt; 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 become 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 previously been studied in its entirety. Now Paul Buhle, a longtime editorial collaborator with James, has produced a rich and informed analysis of his accomplishments. Drawing upon extensive interviews with James, his critics and his erstwhile supporters, together with many previously unpublished documents, Buhle's book offers an appreciative and enlightening portrait of the man and his times. The author also sheds new light on subjects ranging across Pan-Africanism, West Indian literature, British and American Marxism and the rise of third world nationalism.

Diary of a Burned Out Pastor: A novel by James C Blocker

Reverend Carl Boston sat at the funeral of his best friend and colleague, the Right Reverend Dr. Morgan L. Kendal. Morgan was forty-five years old. He left to cherish his memory, his wife Lorraine and their son Lester, who was sitting on the front pew with other relatives, numb and bewildered, staring straight ahead and focused on Morgan's bronze casket. Morgan was donned in full regalia, a bishop's cross around his neck and a bishop's ring on his right hand, although it had been a posthumous elevation. Carl ached inside, wondering what was so terrible that the only way out for his best friend was to put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger... None of those that gave remarks at the funeral, including Carl, addressed the "why." Instead, they attempted to console themselves with platitudes such as: "He's resting in Jesus's arms. Even if he could, he wouldn't return to this evil and perverse world," and "We'll surely see him again someday." ...

C.L.R. James and the 21st Century Caribbean

Tennyson S. D. Joseph

University of the West Indies Press

nidottu
Tennyson Joseph provides a comprehensive analysis of the relevance of C.L.R. James’s political thought to twenty-first-century Caribbean politics. He clarifies, explains and justifies James's method, and applies his ideas to concrete political developments occurring in the twenty-first century Caribbean in its interconnection with the rest of the world. The work offers a unique treatment of James in three distinctive ways: firstly, in its scope and specific focus on the application of the thought of James to the post-Soviet Union, post-Cold War era of Caribbean politics; secondly concerning discussing the possibilities for radical, anti-systemic possibilities in the Caribbean in the early twenty-first century; and thirdly, in the employment of James’s thought and method as an explanatory tool for understanding those contemporary issues. The book brings the ideas of C.L.R. James to a new generation of Caribbean and global readers and is a useful resource to all students, teachers, and activists interested in Caribbean politics, political ideas, and radical political theory.

C.L.R.James's Caribbean

C.L.R.James's Caribbean

Paget Henry; Paul Buhle

Duke University Press
1992
pokkari
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.

C'est la Guerre: The Memoir of Capt. James McBrayer Sellers, USMC

C'est la Guerre: The Memoir of Capt. James McBrayer Sellers, USMC

In June 1917, shortly after the United States entered World War I, James McBrayer Sellers joined the United States Marine Corps and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 78th Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Regiment, 4th Brigade (Marine), 2nd Division, AEF. Wounded during the Battle of Belleau Wood, he recuperated and later returned to command the 78th Company. He led them through the Battle of Blanc Mont Ridge and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The 78th was engaged in heavy fighting at Blanc Mont Ridge resulting in Sellers writing up the citations for two of his men, Cpl. John H. Pruitt and Pvt. John J. Kelly who both received the Medal of Honor. For his own personal bravery in action, Sellers was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars, the Purple Heart, and the French Croix de Guerre. He remained in the Marines in active service until 1920. James McBrayer Sellers' account of his time during the war is a fantastic look from enlistment to the discharge of a U.S. Marine Corps Officer during World War I. Starting at his enlistment and then training at Winthrop, MD and Quantico, VA, to the battlefields of France, the Occupation of Germany, and eventual settling after the war, this account illuminates a new perspective in Marine Corps history. His unique position within the Marine Corps gave him access to more sensitive information than regular enlisted men. This is shown through his letters that were slipped passed the censor, since he himself did the censoring for his company, revealing detailed information to his family in the states. He also kept track of locations and dates, as seen in the appendix. These, paired with his near perfect memory, create a very detailed and interesting account. This work will benefit any and all Marine Corps and World War I historians as a primary source and fascinating look at what it was like to be a young commissioned Marine Corps Platoon and Company Commander while in the French & German Theater of Operations from 1918 to 1919.
