C.L.R. James was a leading figure in the independence movement in the West Indies, and the black and working-class movements in both Britain and the United States. As a major contributor to Marxist and revolutionary theory, his project was to discover, document, and elaborate the aspects of working-class activity that constitute the revolution in today`s world.
In this volume Noel Ignatiev, author of How the IrishBecame White, provides an extensive introduction to James` life and thought, before presenting two critical works that together illustrate the tremendous breadth and depth of james` world view. The Invading Socialist Society, for James the fundamental document of his political tendency, shows the power of James` political acumen and its relevance in today`s world, with a clarity of analysis that anticipated future events to a remarkable extent. Every Cook Can Govern, is a short and eminently readable piece counterposing direct with representative democracy, and getting to the heart of how we should relate to one another.isbn-9789350020975
