Ralph Leonard (@buffsoldier_96) joins us to discuss the work of CLR James and its relevance to current political debates on the modern left around issues like anti-racism, marxism and intersectionalism. How the Haitian Revolution shows the limitations of the French Revolution. To what extent is "culture" displacing "race" in social relations. 

Check out Ralph's article on CLR James here:

E. Said had a similar stance re: "the canon." Baby and bathwater, but also a lot of relevance to contemporary Non-European (non-White) subalterns.

CLR's involvement with the Raya Dunyavskya acolytes is worth exploring. Quite the contradiction with his overall body of work.
