Abstract

It is not too much to claim that C.L.R. James is the individual who has exercised the most decisive influence on political ideas in the twentieth century Anglophone Caribbean. Central to any consideration of his lifework is his concept of the new society — a term recurrent in his post-World War II writings. This new society that James hoped to help usher in was dependent on a transformation in gender relations, and James's firm linkage of human freedom to the liberation of women, while a topic that appears and disappears across his texts, is a deeply poignant and, as of yet, a generally unacknowledged part of his legacy.
