Who was Learie Constantine? And what can he tell us about the
politics of race and race relations in 20th-century Britain and the
Empire? Through examining the life, times and opinions of this
Trinidadian cricketer-turned-politician, Learie Constantine and
Race Relations in Britain and the Empire explores the centrality of
race in British politics and society. Unlike conventional
biographical studies of Constantine, this unique approach to his
life, and the racially volatile context in which it was lived,
moves away from the 'good man' narrative commonly attributed to his
rise to pre-eminence as a spokesman against racial discrimination
and as the first black peer in the House of Lords. Through
detailing how Constantine's idea of 'assimilation' was criticized,
then later rejected by successive activists in the politics of
race, Jeff rey Hill off ers an alternative and more sophisticated
analysis of Constantine's contributions to, and complex
relationship with, the fight against racial inequalities inherent
in British domestic and imperial society.
