About the book
"The Black Jacobins, with its unforgettable story of Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian revolution, is one of the great books of the twentieth century. Containing a wealth of new scholarship and rare primary documents, The Black Jacobins Reader provides a comprehensive analysis of C. L. R. James' classic history. In addition to considering the book's literary qualities and its role in James' emergence as a writer and thinker, the contributors discuss its production, context, and its enduring importance in relation to debates about decolonization, globalization, postcolonialism, and the emergence of neocolonial modernity. The Reader also includes the reflections of activists and novelists on the book's influence and a transcription of James' 1970 interview with Studs Terkel." -- Provided by publisher.
