Sobre este artículo
Charlottesville: University of Virginia, March 2015. Hardcover. First Edition / full number line. Fine book. No jacket. Not from a library. No remainder mark. 254 pages.
A leader in the social movement that achieved Trinidad and Tobago's independence from Britain in 1962, Eric Williams served as its first prime minister. Although much has been written about Williams as a historian and a politician, this is the first full-length treatment of Williams as an intellectual. The author focuses on Williams's role not only in challenging the colonial exploitation of Trinbagonians but also in seeking to educate and mobilize them in an effort to generate a collective identity in the struggle for independence. Drawing on extensive archival research and using a conflated theoretical framework, the author offers a portrait of Williams that shows how his experiences in Trinidad, England, and America radicalized him and how his relationships with other Caribbean intellectuals―along with Aimé Césaire in Martinique, Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic, George Lamming of Barbados, and Frantz Fanon from Martinique―enabled him to seize opportunities for social change and make a significant contribution to Caribbean epistemology.
