Black Power and the Garvey Movement

It is a unique book, not only in tracing the beginnings of Black Power (Garveyism) but in following its ramifications..." AMY JACQUES GARVEY

This provocative study examines the far-reaching influence of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Theodore G. Vincent details UNIA's origins and clarifies the many myths and controversies surrounding the organization and its founder. Initially written to explore the black militancy movement of the 1920s from the point of view of the Black Power struggles of the 1960s, the author's new introduction adds a 21st-century perspective.

Customer Reviews

A superbly researched book. Garveyism was HUGE!

Ted Vincent's love for the material and the Black Power Movement saturates this superbly researched book. He presents great detail about the origins of Garveyism and its growth into the largest movement of African people to defeat colonial domination not only in the United States, but all over the world. The second edition, published by Burning Spear/Uhuru Publications, 1988, brings this document full circle. It contains an introduction by Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the African People's Socialist Party. It connects the history of Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association with the leading African working class organization in the world today.
