Writer, historian, philosopher, mentor: C.L.R. James (1901–1989) has shaped four generations of Caribbean and global scholars and activists, and his work seems more relevant by the day. As a major new biography of the celebrated Trinidadian intellectual is finally published, biographer John L. Williams talks to scholar Aaron Kamugisha about the challenges of documenting a life in restless motion, what James can tell us about our present dilemmas, and how newly researched information may change our notions of James the man.
