Audio: Noel Ignatiev on C.L.R. James
by Noel Ignatiev and C.L.R. James
Red Emma's hosted a lively and exciting talk with Noel Ignatiev - former member of the Sojourner Truth Organization, co-founder of the journal Race Traitor, and author of the essential book of antiracist history How the Irish Became White. Noel recently put together a collection of the writings of C.L.R. Jamesâan autonomist Maxist decades before the Italians made it popular, an anticolonial activist both in his native Trinidad and around the world, as well as the most important cricket journalist ever and a pathbreaking scholar of Herman Melville.
When we heard that Noel wanted to come to Baltimore to talk about the collection, which includes the two critical programmatic essays Every Cook Can Govern (James' nuanced take on the birth of democracy in ancient Greece) and The Invading Socialist Society (which traces the autonomous sparks of real socialism growing within the heart of industrial capitalism), we were ecstatic!
