Davey’s review of writer Caryl Phillips’ A New World Order, which mentions JB as an influence on Phillips.
‘The argument put forward by Phillips, that race is an artificial historical construct that we must dispense with, is an accessible way into the work of prominent British-based social theorists such as Stuart Hall and Paul Gilroy. His roll call of his mentors and heroes as a writer – Du Bois, Richard Wright, Franz Fanon, Ignatius Sancho, James Baldwin, C.L.R James, Sam Selvon, John Coetzee – is a global for inclusion and open-ended multiculturalism, and a literary antidote to black and white essentialism’.
