CLR James, American Civilization, 116

Born Day Blessings to #CLRJames https://www.instagram.com/p/CJrE_abgjz2/?igshid=gmhvmbqev5zp

#CLRJames spent the last years of his life in a flat in #Brixton. The impact of his work as a #writer, #historian, #journalist, #cricket writer, #politicalactivist and #philosopher was very important, particularly in terms of #BlackHistory and the struggle for the rights of Black people worldwide. Born in #Trinidad came to Britain in 1932. He became a key figure in the fight for #Independence for British Colonies and for the self organising of Black people as a force for change. His book 'The Black Jacobins' became the definitive text on the #Haitia revolution. (at Brixton)

#CLRJames was a #Trinidadian #intellectual, #journalist , #historian , and #socialist. His work influenced #DrEricWilliams and is an important part of subaltern studies and #postcolonial literature. He is probably best known as the author of The Black Jacobins. The ideas that he has produced have influenced so many areas that it is impossible to summarize them here! #graphite #watersolublegraphite #gold #fintec #illustration #westindianhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth #portrait #coliro

Cricket and its arcana and statistics, its tragics and eccentrics and its historical resonances as tool of empire, comfort of dying men in trenches and POW camps with its elegiac pastoralism of flickering figures and matches past, Wisdens fingered like Bibles and held together with rice-paste in Burmese hellholes; Pimm's at Lord's and the bacon & egg tie, my afternoons on your outfields and my humble contributions to your Almanack: I will always have a soft spot for you. And for this small anthology, too. I love it when my obsessions collide. #hauntedpavilions #markvalentine #johngale #jonathanwood #rbrussell #cricket #ghoststories #shortfiction #smallpress #summergame #demonbowlers #testcricket #lords #villagecricket #pastoral #homeofcricket #engvsa #wisdenalmanack #ewswanton #johnarlott #beldamandfry #nevillecardus #clrjames #cricketliterature #cricketbooks #bookporn #bibliophilia
