Almost as old as the century, C.L.R. James died in Brixton in 1990. This biography describes the eventful journey of a unique Caribbean intellectual from childhood in Trinidad to semi-canonization during the "black power" era of the 1970s in Britain. Marxist thinker and writer, he was more attentive as a boy to the study of cricket than history and through that lifelong passion for the game reached a wider audience than normally accorded the political polemicist. C.L.R. James was the author of "Beyond a Boundry" and a legendary cricket correspondent. Drawing together these strands of James's life, the book assesses the man, from personal recollection and mature reflection, and explores his relevance to the 1990s and the new post-immigration generations in our cities.
