George Padmore’s Black Internationalism, by Rodney Worrell & The Pan-African Pantheon
To the East Turn
The last three decades have witnessed a burgeoning scholarship on Black radicalism in the United States and abroad. Much of it concerns Black radicalism’s relationship to international and transnational currents linked to the Soviet Union. The vast bulk of this literature is concerned with the years 1928–1935—dubbed the Third Period by the Communist International (Comintern). This essay registers and analyzes the responses of US-based Black radic…

of New Left Review, and director of Birmingham University's celebrated Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies, which established the theoretical underpinnings of what would become cultural studies.His prolific output over the years has revealed a great deal about his intellectual approaches, but little about the man himself.Averse to the idea of writing a memoir, Hall agreed to a series of extensive autobiographical interviews with Bill Schwarz…
West Indian intellectuals in Britain
Established in the belief that imperialism as a cultural phenomenon had as significant an effect on the dominant as on the subordinate societies, Studies in Imperialism seeks to develop the new socio-cultural approach which has emerged through cross-disciplinary work on popular culture, media studies, art history, the study of education and religion, sports history and children's literature.The cultural emphasis embraces studies of migration and …
Letters from London in Black and Red
These two rare documents – one previously unpublished, the other published almost a century ago, never republished and still almost completely unknown – capture some key dimensions of the revolutionary thought of Claude McKay in the pregnant years after the Russian Revolution and the Great War. A committed revolutionary socialist and early advocate of Bolshevism, McKay urged Marcus Garvey, the founder and leader of the Universal Negro Improvement…
In the Nest of Extreme Radicalism
Between 1919 and 1921, Claude McKay (1889–1948), best known as a distinguished black poet and novelist, spent 14 months in London, a crucial and transformative moment in his life and work. Yet this is the least studied and understood period of McKay’s life and oeuvre. Drawing upon newly discovered archival sources, the essay documents and analyses the extraordinary impact McKay’s British sojourn had on his radicalisation. He met and befriended di…

Explaining Afro-Caribbean Social Mobility in the United States
A considerable debate has surrounded the question of Afro-Caribbeans and their social mobility in the United States, much of it based on or written in response to the work of Thomas Sowell. The polemical purpose of a large portion of this literature has diminished its value: designed to deny or excuse American racism or to lay the blame for the sorry predicament of Afro-America on Afro-Americans themselves, it has operated in a historical vacuum …

Inside Babylon
Inside Babylon
This collection aims to reflect the varied experience of the Caribbean diaspora in Britain. The contributors set out to show how employers and police, psychiatrists and welfare services help to channel black people into residential and occupational ghettoes. They also show how within and against such oppressive conditions, black people in Britain have forged a new identity. The book includes several essays by black women, including work from Amin…
Migration, Racism and Identity
A long way from home
This article sets out to challenge much of the current literature on the self‐identity of blacks in British society. By looking at the long‐term historical background, the colonial heritage of cultural, political and economic oppression, a series of more subtle analyses emerges. Among the stereotypes challenged is that of the generational gap; evidence is cited to indicate a far greater common awareness and identity of aims and attitudes than pre…
Maurice Bishop and the New Jewel Revolution in Grenada
The brutal killings of Maurice Bishop and a number of his closest friends and supporters, and the subsequent us invasion of the island in October this year, brought a sudden and tragic end to the Grenadian revolution. Coming at a time when the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua
The Hurricane That Shook the Caribbean
In the wake of the Depression, a series of labour rebellions ripped through the British Caribbean archipelago like a powerful hurricane. Starting in St. Kitts in 1935, unrest and strikes rapidly moved southeasterly to St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Guyana. After a year of relative calm, the cycle
The decline and fall of Michael Manley
This article deals with the eight years' and eight months' rule of the Manley regime in Jamaica. It analyses the nature of the regime and focusses on its internal contradictions. Its main argument is that the collapse of the PNP government in 1980 is best explained not by external interference but by its internal contradictions. Like other social-democratic regimes, it aspired to achieve equality while maintaining private property. In Jamaica thi…
