Red and Black in Harlem and Jamaica : The Revolutionary Life and Selected Writings of W. A. Domingo by W.A. Domingo

The 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 anti-colonial struggle in the Caribbean. The book looks at Domingo's ideological tenets and political commitments at various stages in his life. Each section contains a substantial introduction followed by a selection of Domingo's writings, including new biographical information which sheds light on Domingo's early years as well as on his relationships with Marcus Garvey and the Communist movement.
