Description
xThe first complete account of the life and work of Wilfred Adolphus Domingo (1889-1968), one of the most significant West Indian anti-colonialists of the twentieth century. When W. A. Domingo died in 1968, the Jamaican ex-premier Norman Manley wrote that 'no one in the world made greater sacrifices or suffered more for the cause he believed in--the cause of freedom for Jamaica and our escape from the bonds and fetters of British Imperialism.' Despite this claim, Domingo has remained a shadowy figure. This book brings him, at last, into the foreground of the anti-colonial struggle in the Caribbean. This book is a comprehensive exploration of Domingo's ideological tenets and political commitments at various stages in his life. Each section is prefaced by a substantial introduction and is followed by a selection of Domingo's writings, which include new biographical information that sheds light on Domingo's early years and his relationships with Marcus Garvey and the Communist movement.

By W. A. Domingo
xW. A. Domingo (1889-1968) was one of the leading West Indian anti-colonialists of the twentieth century. Born and raised in Jamaica, he moved to the USA in 1910. A Jamaican nationalist, socialist, and committed internationalist, he was part of an influential community of West Indian radicals active in Harlem's New Negro movement in the early 20th century. In 1936 he co-founded the Jamaica Progressive League, which called for Jamaican self-government. He then helped shape the People's National Party in Jamaica before being imprisoned by the colonial authorities on the island during World War II. He was present at Jamaica's independence ceremonies in August 1962. Peter Hulme is Emeritus Professor in Literature, University of Essex, and the author or editor of numerous books, most recently The Dinner at Gonfarone's: Salom?n de la Selva's Pan-American Project in Nueva York, 1915-1919. He lives in Sedbergh, Cumbria. Leslie James is Senior Lecturer in Global History at Queen Mary University London. She is the author of George Padmore and Decolonization from Below and editor of C.L.R. James's Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution. She lives in London.
