Letters from London: seven essays by C.L.R. James
Born in Trinidad, C.L. R. James was a writer, historian and pan-African activist. He lived in Britain for several long periods and died in Brixton. These 'letters' are accounts of his life in London in 1932 which were initially published in the Port of Spain Gazette, a Trinidadian newspaper. James is a young man seeing close up for the first time the society whose culture has dominated his education in colonial Trinidad.
