C.L.R. James and the 21st Century Caribbean in Bloomington, MN

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.
