Evidence from documents: World Revolution (book): '''World Revolution, 1917–1936: The Rise and Fall of the Communist International''''' was written by Trinidadian Marxist C. L. R. James and published in 1937 by Secker and Warburg.
Minty Alley: '''''Minty Alley''''' is a groundbreaking novel written by Trinidadian writer C. L. R. James in the late 1920s,
Toussaint Louverture - The story of the only successful slave revolt in history: '''''Toussaint Louverture - The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History''''' is a three-act play about Toussaint L'Ouverture, the leader of the Haitian Revolution (21 August 1791 – 1 January 1804), written by C. L. R. James in 1934. In March 1936, the play was staged for two performances in the Westminster Theatre in London's West End by the Stage Society, a private club, to avoid Theatres Act censorship laws. It was directed by Peter Godfrey and starred Paul Robeson in the title role, as well as Orlando Martins as Dutty Boukman, Robert Adams as Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Harry Andrews. It was the first time black professional actors featured in a production written by a black playwright in the UK. The play had been presumed lost until its rediscovery of a draft copy in 2005 by historian Christian Høgsbjerg. The play was published for the first time in 2013 by Duke University Press, with a foreword by Laurent Dubois and an introduction by Christian Høgsbjerg. ''Toussaint Louverture'' is perhaps the last major piece of James's work to be published.


C. L. R. James went on to write the classic history of the Haitian Revolution, the book ''The Black Jacobins'', in 1938.
Babouk: '''''Babouk''''' is a political-themed novel by Guy Endore, a fictionalized account of the Haitian Revolution told through the eyes of its titular slave. Though virtually unknown today, ''Babouk'' has gained some notoriety in academic circles through its linking of the slave trade with capitalism, and one professor has suggested that it would make a valuable addition to post-colonial literary discourse. A committed leftist and opponent of racism, Endore spent many months in Haiti researching the story that would become ''Babouk'', and much of his findings make their way into the text, either in the form of epigraphs or explicitly noted in the text itself. ''Babouk'' is also notable for the digressions the narrator makes from the main narrative, to expound his political sympathies.
