Arguing that the accomplishments of Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey
and his followers have been marginalized in narratives of the black
freedom struggle, this volume draws on decades of overlooked
research to reveal the profound impact of Garvey's post-World War I
black nationalist philosophy around the world and across the
twentieth century. These essays examine the influence of Garvey's
Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in Africa,
Australia, North America, and the Caribbean. They highlight the
poorly recognized work of many Garveyite women and show how the
UNIA played a key role in shaping labor unions, political
organizations, churches, and schools. They also trace the imprint
of the movement on long-term developments such as decolonization in
Africa and the Caribbean, the civil rights and Black Power
movements in the United States, and the radical pan-African
movement. Rejecting the idea that Garveyism was a brief and
misguided phenomenon, this volume exposes its scope, significance,
and endurance. Together, contributors assert that Garvey initiated
the most important mass movement in the history of the African
diaspora, and they urge readers to rethink the emergence of modern
black politics with Garveyism at the center.
