Workers' Self-management in the Caribbean

Joseph Edwards (born George Myers, also known as Fundi, the "Caribbean Situationist") was a Jamaican refrigeration mechanic and labor organizer from West Kingston. In 1969, he led a wildcat strike and workers' council at Western Meat Packers in Westmoreland, and was a major organizer of the Unemployed Workers Council and Independent Trade Union Advisory Council.

Edwards was a profound critic of electoral party politics and trade union hierarchy and was among the most proletarian political theorists of his generation. His articles and pamphlets survey struggles for workers' organization in banana and sugar cane fields, bauxite mines, clerical offices, and industrial factories. The first published collection of writings by Joseph Edwards, Workers' Self-Management in the Caribbean transforms how we understand class struggle during the Caribbean New Left generation.
