Sir William Arthur Lewis moved from the realm of brilliant scholar
into the realm of legend when he won the Nobel Prize in Economics
in 1979. Yet, little has been recognised of his scholarship beyond
the field of economics, a scholarship that complemented and
enhanced his economic thought. In this collection of essays, borne
out of the Sir Arthur Lewis Memorial Symposium and the Sir Arthur
Lewis Distinguished Lecture 2018, contributors present W. Arthur
Lewis not only as a renowned Nobel Laureate in Economics but also
as a cross-disciplinary scholar both prescient and adept in
outlining a framework for development in all areas of society. The
W. Arthur Lewis Reader starts with an overview of Lewis's early
life and career and then delves into his varied contributions to
the field of political science, management, and sociology, to name
a few. It details how his cultural, political, and social worldview
profoundly influenced the dynamism and nuance with which he
advanced issues concerning West Indies and West African activism;
racial and ethnic antagonism; social demographics; labour and
unemployment; economic diversification; development of the cultural
and creative industries; and ethnicity and entrepreneurship, all
while providing an invaluable resource on one of the Caribbean's
greatest minds.
