This ambitious research monograph discusses key individuals (George
Padmore, Eric Williams, C.L.R.James among others) and organizations
(particularly Labor and liberation movements) in the Anglophone
Caribbean world from the perspective of contemporary political and
economic Caribbean realities. Particular attention is paid to the
Pan-African Movement and its linking of Black Africa and the
diasporic Black world of the British West Indies. Colonial Office
policies of the period are discussed along with attempts by local
and international economic interests during and after both World
Wars to control events and thwart labor and independence movements.
New research ground is broken regarding the small fierce Communist
Party in the islands and Comintern efforts to develop media and
labor control of specific islands. Afro-American influence in
popular political culture and its political and social effect on
organizations in the islands is also discussed along with the many
organizational links with key Afro-American newspapers such as The
Crisis, Chicago Defender, The Negro Worker, and the Baltimore
Afro-American. Widespread migration to the US by islanders in
investigated as part of the evolving reappraisal of West Indians as
potential free citizens of independent entities under democratic
(as opposed elite) institutions.
