Modern Politics was originally delivered in 1960 as a series of lectures in Trinidad. Both in his lectures and in the text, James's wide-ranging erudition and enduring relevance are powerfully displayed. He analyses revolutionary history and the role of literature, art and culture in society. He also interrogates the ideas and philosophy of such thinkers as Rousseau, Lenin and Trotsky, making this is a magnificent tour de force from a critically-engaged thinker at the height of his powers. An essential introduction to his body of work.
