Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-12 00:00:00 PAUL CUDMORE The book has been devoted to Williams, Milner tries to show the connection between his theory 'cultural materialism' and other critical studies. Moreover, it illustrates Williams' affinity to other fundamental figures.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-04 00:00:00 Jihyeon Rim This is a highly descriptive and detailed account of the varied interests, works, and contributions of the great C.L.R. James. James was a giant in the areas of sociopolitical, economic, and cultural theory. He was a Marxist and early Pan Africanist who viewed socialist revolution as the answer to oppression all over the world, and placed the masses of Black people at the forefront of that revolution. While the author sometimes drifted too far into political philosophy, he always managed to highlight James' central belief that any social change needed to be democratically driven and pushed by the masses of people. This is a very good book for anybody who wants to learn about one of the giants of Afro-Caribbean history and political thought.
