It shows that for more than a century West Indians living in Britain developed a dazzling intellectual critique of the codes of Imperial Britain. This is the first comprehensive discussion of the major Caribbean thinkers who came to live in twentieth-century Britain. Chapters discuss the influence of, amongst others, C.L.R. James, Una Marson, George Lamming, Jean Rhys, Claude McKay and V.S. Naipaul. ||| Contents ||| General editor’s introduction List of contributors Acknowledgements Introduction: Crossing the seas - Bill Schwarz 1 What is a West Indian? - Catherine Hall 2 ‘To do something for the race’: Harold Moody and the League of Coloured Peoples - David Killingray 3 A race outcast from an outcast class: Claude McKay’s experience and analysis of Britain - Winston James 4 Jean Rhys: West Indian intellectual - Helen Carr5 Una Marson: feminism, anti-colonialism and a forgotten fight for freedom - Alison Donnell 6 George Padmore - Bill Schwarz 7 C.
