What to make of C.L.R. James, a black, Marxist, anti-colonialist "founding father" of independent Trinidad who considers his two foundational passions to be classical English literature and cricket? This book - equal parts autobiography and examination of cricket as an art form and political driver - explains the seeming contradiction and shows that it's not really contradictory at all. A man with a fascinating, wide-ranging mind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
