A View for Freedom: Alfie Roberts Speaks is the testament of a remarkably perceptive mind. Political advisor, historian, community worker and international cricket player, Alfie Roberts was one of the most independent thinkers to emerge from the Caribbean in the post World War II era. Here for the first time we have Alfie in his own words on Caribbean and African history and politics, cricket, C.L.R. James, the Sir George Williams Affair, the turbulent 1960's and Montreal.

Alfie Roberts received his early education at St. George's Anglican School and the St. Vincent Boys' Grammar School. He was awarded a scholarship to Queen's Royal College in Trinidad where he completed his secondary education and where he shined as a cricketer. He was selected to the West Indies cricket team that visited New Zealand in 1955  at the tender age of 18. He recieved his B.A. in Political Science from Sir George Williams University and a Diploma in Public Administration from Carleton University in Ottawa. He died in 1996.
