Abstract
Abstract This concluding chapter turns to consider one of the towering Caribbean intellectuals of the twentieth century: C. L. R. James. James’ experience as a broadcaster at the BBC was considerable, spanning the period between the 1930s and the 1970s. His critical interventions both on and off the airwaves reveal his abiding interest in radio as an imperializing force, a decolonizing medium, a stylistic device, and a mode of political communication. Placing Beyond a Boundary (1963) into conversation with his test match commentaries and wider broadcasting career, this chapter argues that not only did James’ landmark volume on cricket and late colonial culture evolve in close conjunction with radio, but that his written appreciation of the game as a visual, episodic art form was indebted to the spoken form of radio commentary.
