The Black Jacobins Reader

Editat de Charles Forsdick
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 ian 2017
Containing a wealth of new scholarship and rare primary documents, "The Black Jacobins Reader" provides a comprehensive analysis of C. L. R. James's classic history of the Haitian Revolution. In addition to considering the book's literary qualities and its role in James's emergence as a writer and thinker, the contributors discuss its production, context, and its enduring importance in relation to debates about decolonization, globalization, postcolonialism, and the emergence of neocolonial modernity. The "Reader" also includes the reflections of activists and novelists on the book's influence and a transcription of James's 1970 interview with Studs Terkel.
