A History of Pan-African Revolt (Revolutionary Classics)
"Kudos for reissuing C. L. R. James's pioneering work on Black resistance. Many brilliant embryonic ideas articulated inA History of Pan-African Revolttwenty years later became the way to study Black social movements. Robin Kelley's introduction superbly situates James and his thought in the world of Pan-African and Marxist intellectuals."  —Sundiata Cha-Jua, associate professor in the Department of History, University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign"A mine of ideas advancing far ahead of its time."  —Walter Rodney, historian, political activist, and author,How Europe Underdeveloped Africa"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"When one looks back over the last twenty years to those men who were most far-sighted, who first began to tease out the muddle of ideology in our times, who were at the same time Marxists with a hard theoretical basis, and close students of society, humanists with a tremendous response to and understanding of human culture, Comrade James is one of the first one thinks of."  —E. P. Thompson, historian and author,The Making of the English Working Class"More than an historical curiosity, James's work brims with transcendent ideas so adamant and clear they continue to read fresh today." —Publishers Weekly(March 31, 2013)--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
