Abstract
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.
