Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'C.L.R. James has arguably had a greater influence on the underlying thinking of independence movements in the West Indies and Africa than any living man.' --Sunday Times

'Mr. James is not afraid to touch his pen with the flame of ardent personal feeling a sense of justice, love of freedom, admiration for heroism, hatred for tyranny.' --New York Times

Reseña del editor:

In his study of Herman Melville, Mariners, Renegades and Castaways, C.L.R. James wrote: 'My ultimate aim ... is to write a study of American Civilization'. In the tradition of de Tocqueville's Democracy in America, James addresses the fundamental question of the 'right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. Ranging across American politics, society and culture, C.L.R. James sets out to integrate his analysis of American society in transition with a commentary on the popular arts of cinema and literature.
