This article aims to provide a synoptic account of the cultural writings of the West Indian intellectual and activist C.L.R. James. I aim to make a case for greater recognition of his work among cultural sociologists. I go on to show how James’s original, historicizing account of cultural forms relates closely to his wider political interventions including, specifically, his ground-breaking discussion of mid-20th-century black politics in America
