AB - REVIEWS 315 George Padmore and Decolonization from Below does a superb job of situating the political thought and activism of George Padmore within the wider patterns of Cold War politics and the politics of empire. James’s discussion of Padmore’s relationship with Ghanaian independence, in particular, breaks new ground. It remains a regret that more of Padmore’s early life could not be fully incorporated, and that the complexities of his split with the Communist movement are not excavated at greater length. Nevertheless, Leslie James is to be praised for a ground-breaking work of intellectual history that critically analyses the political thought of a figure whose previous neglect seems, thankfully, to be coming to an end. By no means the last word, her book will, however, be the standard against which all future studies of George Padmore must be measured.
