Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey
Marcus Garvey (Amy Jacques Garvey, ed.)
"One God! One Aim! One Destiny!" the UNIA rallying cry.
Compiled and edited by his wife Amy Jacques Garvey, this gathers the speeches and writing of the Jamaican organizer whose Universal Negro Improvement Association became the largest Black mass movement of its time. Garvey preached racial pride, economic self-reliance, and a return to Africa. The volume carried his ideas worldwide and fed later movements from the Nation of Islam to Rastafari and African nationalism.
Its legacy. A primary source for twentieth-century Black nationalism.
