Abstract

Qui, en France, connaît C. L. R. James ? Né en 1901 à Trinidad, alors colonie de la Couronne britannique, et mort à Londres en 1989, celui que le Times dénomma à la fin de sa vie le « Platon noir de notre génération » est pourtant une figure intellectuelle et politique majeure d'un siècle qu'il aura traversé presque de part en part. Intellectuel diasporique par excellence, militant panafricain de la première heure, James a pris part aux grands mouvements de décolonisation de son temps en Afrique et dans la Caraïbe et fut un acteur de premier plan des luttes noires aux États-Unis. Fervent partisan de Trotski avant de rompre avec l'héritage de ce dernier pour défendre la thèse de l'auto-émancipation des masses ouvrières-populaires, James eut un destin étroitement imbriqué dans celui du marxisme au XXe siècle. Pour ce « marxiste noir », révolution socialiste et luttes anticoloniales-antiracistes étaient intimement enchevêtrées : elles s'inscrivaient dans l'horizon d'une « révolution mondiale » dont la source et le centre ne pouvaient plus être la seule Europe. C'est à celle-ci que James s'est voué corps et âme pendant plus de cinq décennies, débattant et collaborant avec ses contemporains aux quatre coins du monde. Dans une conjoncture où la gauche radicale éprouve de grandes difficultés à renouveler ses stratégies face aux revendications des minorités non blanches et où la critique de l'eurocentrisme bat de l'aile, méditer la vie et l'œuvre de James pourrait se révéler essentiel dans la tâche de construction d'une pensée de l'émancipation qui soit, enfin, à la mesure du monde.

Abstract

C. L. R. James in Imperial Britain chronicles the life and work of the Trinidadian intellectual and cultural theorist C. L. R. James during his first extended stay in Britain, from 1932 to 1938. It reveals the radicalizing effect of this critical period on James's intellectual and political trajectory.

Christian Høgsbjerg reconstructs the circ

Abstract

Widely regarded as one of the most important and influential sports books of all time, C. L. R. James's Beyond a Boundary is—among other things—a pioneering study of popular culture, an analysis of resistance to empire and racism, and a personal reflection on the history of colonialism and its effects in the Caribbean. More than fifty years after the publication of James's classic text, the contributors to Marxism, Colonialism, and Cricket investigate Beyond a Boundary's production and reception and its implication for debates about sports, gender, aesthetics, race, popular culture, politics, imperialism, and English and Caribbean identity. Including a previously unseen first draft of Beyond a Boundary's conclusion alongside contributions from James's key collaborator Selma James and from Michael Brearley, former captain of the English Test cricket team, Marxism, Colonialism, and Cricket provides a thorough and nuanced examination of James's groundbreaking work and its lasting impact.Contributors. Anima Adjepong, David Austin, Hilary McD. Beckles, Michael Brearley, Selwyn R. Cudjoe, David Featherstone, Christopher Gair, Paget Henry, Christian Høgsbjerg, C. L. R.

Abstract

C. L. R. James's The Black Jacobins remains one of the great works of the twentieth century and the cornerstone of Haitian revolutionary studies. In Making The Black Jacobins, Rachel Douglas traces the genesis, transformation, and afterlives of James's landmark work across the decades from the 1930s on. Examining the 1938 and 1963 editions of The Black Jacobins, the 1967 play of the same name, and James's 1936 play, Toussaint Louverture—as well as manuscripts, notes, interviews, and other texts—Douglas shows how James continuously rewrote and revised his history of the Haitian Revolution as his politics and engagement with Marxism evolved. She also points to the vital significance theater played in James's work and how it influenced his views of history. Douglas shows The Black Jacobins to be a palimpsest, its successive layers of rewriting renewing its call to new generations.
