James (19011989), known in much later years as the \"last great Pan-Africanist.\" The son of a provincial school administrator in British-governed Trinidad, James disappointed his family by embracing the culture and passions of the colonial underclass, Carnival and cricket. He joined the literary avant-garde of the island before leaving for Britain. In the UK, James swiftly became a beloved cricket journalist, playwright for his close friend Paul Robeson, and a pathbreaking scholar of black history with The Black Jacobins (1938), the first history of the Haitian revolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe artistic skills of Milton Knight, at once acute and provocative, bring out James's unique personality, how it arose, and how he became a world figure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833163829406,"sku":"ADS-9781629635149","price":12.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781629635149.jpg?v=1778650844","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781629635149","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
