{"product_id":"beyond-boundaries-christopher-gair-9780745323428","title":"Beyond Boundaries: C.L.R. James and Postnational Studies","description":"This book brings together leading critics to explore the work of CLR James, the world-famous Carribean intellectual. It's an exciting and innovative examination of the wide impact that CLR James has had on contemporary thought -- as a historian, novelist, cultural and political theorist and activist. The contributors reinvigorate James's inspiring critical output, with particular reference to the impact he has had on cultural studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInvaluable for students of post-colonial studies, the book examines points where James crosses with other theorists, such as Lacan and Gramsci. Racial identity and cultural politics are key themes in his work, not to mention his unique writings on cricket. Contributors including Donald E Pease, Nicole King, Christopher Gair and Anthony Bogues illuminate the key themes in James's writing, and put forward the idea that the breath of James's thinking can be identified as the beginning of 'post-national' studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChristopher Gair is a lecturer in the Department of American and Canadian Studies, University of Birmingham.
