Tim Hector: A Caribbean Radical's Story This biography explores the life and work of Tim Hector, a multifaceted figure who played a significant role in the Pan-African movement. As editor of the newspaper Outlet and co-founder of the Afro-Caribbean Liberation Movement, Hector was a vocal advocate for independence and self-determination in his native Antigua. Through Hector's story, biographer Paul Buhle sheds light on the radical movements in the British West Indies during a tumultuous period. The book delves into Hector's intellectual development, tracing his shift from island nationalism to democratic self-determination, and examines the challenges he faced, including loss of his teaching career, arrests, and personal tragedy. A nuanced portrayal of Caribbean achievement and anxiety, Tim Hector: A Caribbean Radical's Story offers a unique perspective on the region's complex history and politics.
