James (1901-1989) made important contributions in a host of fields--literature, criticism, cultural studies, political theory, history, and philosophy. One of the most astute minds of this century, he served as mentor for two generations of international intellectuals. He contributed enormously to their understanding of the colonial question, the Negro question, the Russian question, the role of dialectics in proletarian struggle, and the theory and practice of Marxism in the Americas. In addition to \u003ci\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/i\u003e, his incisive account of the Haitian revolution of the 1790s, and \u003ci\u003eNotes on Dialectics\u003c\/i\u003e, James published a range of other books, including a classic work on the game of cricket and a study of Herman Melville. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection of essays offers a variety of fresh perspectives on James's life and writings.
