C L R James reminds us
The black man or woman who is born here
and grows up here has something special to contribute to western
civilisations.He or she will
participate in it, see it from birth, but will never be quite completely in

therefore, will give a new vision, a deeper and stronger insight into both
western civilisation and the black people in it.
