Global Garveyism

“This is, by far, the most comprehensive and illuminating book to date concerning the unique phenomenon that is Garveyism. From the U.S. Midwest to Trinidad to Southern Africa to Australia, this volume sheds light relentlessly.”—Gerald Horne, author of The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in Seventeenth-Century North America and the Caribbean

“Essential reading for anyone doing research on the gigantic figure and personality who is Marcus Mosiah Garvey.”—Judson L. Jeffries, editor of The Black Panther Party in a City Near You

“A timely publication that should be of interest to students, scholars, and informed nonacademic readers wishing to deepen their understanding of the development of Black protest and activism in a transnational context.”—American Historical Review

“Demonstrates that Garveyism inspired meaningful institutional development in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and even the Pacific region.”—Journal of American History

“Significantly expands the conversation on Garvey himself but, perhaps more important, speaks to the wide-ranging impact the UNIA had across time and space.”—Journal of African American History

“Represents a valuable addition to the growing literature on Garvey scholarship. If the goal of the work is to provide readers with a rare glimpse into the complex and vibrant world of Garveyism and those who were important to the movement, then it has succeeded.”—Journal of American Ethnic History

“The new research in Global Garveyism digs deep into the politics and ideas of Garveyites at the local level, goes well beyond Garvey’s death in 1940, and pays attention to the role that women played in the movement.”—New West Indian Guide

“In its geographic span and in the array of political projects it covers, Global Garveyism gives us a unique vantage point into the lives and visions of these everyday Garveyites who made the movement possible.”—Journal of African History
