James was one of the great minds of the 20th century. James was a true polymath who made significant contributions in the areas of politics, philosophy, sports and aesthetics, history, literature, literary criticism, and Marxist theory. Ultimately, James was a socialist who fought and thought to change the world. The lecture will explore James&#8217;s life and ideas and situate him within his formative years in the Caribbean. Light refreshments will follow the lecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"david-austin\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">David Austin<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24137 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/David-Austin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"149\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/David-Austin.jpg 251w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/David-Austin-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><\/figure><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>David Austin is the author of&nbsp;<em>Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution<\/em>&nbsp;(2018) and&nbsp;<em>Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex, and Security in Sixties Montreal<\/em>&nbsp;(2013, winner of the 2014 Casa de las Americas Prize).
