West Indian Intellectuals in Britain
Caribbean migration to Britain brought many new things--new music, new foods, new styles. It brought new ways of thinking too.

This is the first comprehensive discussion of the major Caribbean thinkers who came to live in twentieth-century Britain. Chapters discuss the influence of, amongst others, C.L.R. James, Una Marson, George Lamming, Jean Rhys, Claude McKay and V.S. Naipaul.
