It puts his texts in context with other narratives by local and international Pan-Africanists and Victorian intellectuals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe kind of intellectual biography\/history that Smith provides - with scrupulous attention paid to earlier colonial history in addition to postcolonial politics - is rare in the canonical fields, let alone in the more recent domain of black studies. This work will create strong ripples in Caribbean studies, some of them usefully controversial. It will certainly change the face of the Caribbean intellectual tradition and will introduce Professor Smith as a leading name in the field. - Supriya Nair, Tulane University, author of Caliban's Curse: George Lamming and the Revisioning of History","brand":"MP-VIR Uni of Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52151129801047,"sku":"9780813921433","price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/creole-recitations-john-jacob-thomas-and-colonial-formation-in-the-late-nineteenthcentury-caribbean-9780813921433","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
