James (1901–1989), known in much later years as the “last great Pan-Africanist.” The son of a provincial school administrator in British-governed Trinidad, James disappointed his family by embracing the culture and passions of the colonial underclass, Carnival and cricket. He joined the literary avant-garde of the island before leaving for Britain. In the UK, James swiftly became a beloved cricket journalist, playwright for his close friend Paul Robeson, and a pathbreaking scholar of black history with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1938), the first history of the Haitian revolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artistic skills of Milton Knight, at once acute and provocative, bring out James’s unique personality, how it arose, and how he became a world figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Contributors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilton Knight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a graduate of the BOCES Cultural Arts Center.
