NEW FROM VERSO: C.L.R. James: The Artist As Revolutionary

2nd Nov 2017

OUT NOW:

C.L.R. JAMES
THE ARTIST AS REVOLUTIONARY
BY PAUL BUHLE

AFTERWORD BY PAUL BUHLE AND LAWRENCE WAREFOREWORD BY ROBIN D.G. KELLEY

———-

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.
