Following is an excerpt from Dr. Mathews’ review:
"Of special interest to the historian of the Caribbean is the brief personal history of Daniel DeLeon. To the famous names of Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, or Frantz Fanon, as Caribbean born intellectuals or thinkers who have made important contributions to the history of ideas should certainly be added the name of Daniel DeLeon from Curacao. As I learned in the preparation of a term paper as a student many years ago Daniel DeLeon is the only American who, in the opinion of Nicolai Lenin, succeeded in making a positive contribution to the development of the ideas of Karl Marx. DeLeon is not known in Curacao today where his ideas on the industrial state would be so appropriate to the oil refinery worker who is being automated out of his job. He was not appreciated by the laboring man of the United States at the beginning of this century since his ideas were far too advanced for understanding, let alone utilization. The Emmanuels fill in the details of the personal life of this socialist thinker and substantiate the charges that he was mercilessly persecuted for his radical ideas."
