On this day, 4 January 1901, CLR James, anti-colonial activist, socialist historian, theorist, journalist and cricket aficionado, was born in Trinidad. In his masterful history of the Haitian revolution, The Black Jacobins, James remarked: “When history is written as it ought to be written, it is the moderation and long patience of the masses at which men will wonder, not their ferocity.”
We have made available a number of his lesser-known works here:https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/all/c-l-r-james https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.1819457841572691/2178939728957832/?type=3

  9. hussyknee said: The class reductionist misappropriation of BIPOC and the Global South’s freedom struggles against white supremacy and colonization, is part of why we can never accept nor trust the solidarity of white and Western leftists
  10. hussyknee said: White people tagging this “class war” without including slavery, white supremacy, colonization, imperialism and racism, is erasure of what the Haitian revolution was about. It was the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere, making Haiti the first Black nation in the Americas to claim independence
