A. Domingo died, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Through a generous selection of Domingo's writings from various stages of his life, the book illuminates his ideological tenets and political commitments, while the introductory material contains new biographical information that sheds light on Domingo's early years as well as on his relationships with Marcus Garvey and the Communist movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eW.

A Jamaican nationalist, socialist, and committed internationalist, he was part of an influential community of West Indian radicals active in Harlem's New Negro movement in the early 20th century. \u003cb\u003ePeter Hulme\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor in Literature, University of Essex, and the author or editor of numerous books.
