The Humanities Graduate Centre Key Thinkers Series, in conjunction with
the Reading Group for African Critical Thought (RGFACT) and the Centre
for Indian Studies in Africa (CISA) Presents:
TWO DAYS WITH THE SPIRIT OF C.L.R. JAMES
C.L.R James (1901-1989), originally from Trinidad, was among the most
original, wide-ranging and influential postcolonial thinkers and
activists of the 20th Century. His work as a political theorist (e.g.
Notes on Dialectics: Hegel, Marx and Lenin), historian (The Black
Jacobins), literary critic (Mariners, Renegades and Castaways), cricket
journalist (Beyond a Boundary) and writer of fiction (Minty Alley) is
too little known in South Africa.
