One of the most important and controversial figures in the history of race relations in America and the world at large, Marcus Garvey was the first great black orator of the twentieth century. The Jamaican-born African-American rights advocated dismayed his enemies as much as he dazzled his admirers. Of him, Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “He was the first man, on a mass scale and level, to give millions of Negroes a sense of dignity and destiny, and make the Negro feel that he was somebody.”
A printer and newspaper editor in his youth, Garvey furthered his education in England and eventually traveled to the United States, where he impressed thousands with his speeches and millions more through his newspaper articles. His message of black pride resonated in all his efforts. This anthology contains some of his most noted writings, among them “The Negro’s Greatest Enemy,” "Declaration of the Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World," and "Africa for the Africans," as well as powerful speeches on unemployment, leadership, and emancipation.
Essential reading for students of African-American history, this volume will also serve as a useful reference for anyone interested in the history of the civil rights movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly excellent recollection!
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017

I have been fascinated with the life and works of old Marcus Garvey since I was a boy growing up in Kingston, Jamaica. My father was an avowed Garveyite. Taking pride in showing off his certificate of investment in the UNIA - The Black Star Line, as well as other mementos & regalia of having been associated with Marcus Garvey. So this book of his poems and speeches are a powerful recollection and endorsement of the power which Marcus Garvey meant within his very progressive association. His poetry are especially enlightening and inspiring, as they speak of his intelligence, as well as his conviction for the important/crucial work in which he is engaged. This book also reminds me that Garvey's ideas still has purpose in our contemporary life in 2017. I also recommend this book as a vital starter for any student or critic of Garvey's life, work & ideas.

Interesting read.Marcus Garvey is ahead of his time as far as seeking economic and social justice for Black people. He also had a world view in regard to this problem which was also ahead of its time as well. To gain the amount of followers and develop his organization to the level and membership he did he had to be a very charismatic person and speaker. His imperfections are also pretty glaring to, he has a displayed hatred for mixed people and Jews. And his embrace of white nationalists is also just flat our weird. In these instances he shows how behind in his thinking he is as well. While I think he truly believed what he believed with conviction that his plans were the best path for him and people of African descent. He was also just misguided on how to go about doing it and also what was actually best for the African Diaspora.

Most people don't get to learn about Garvey in school, but I did when I took African American history. It was great to read this book and get a more in depth look into his mind and the objectives of his organization. I think for African Americans, it's important to learn our history outside of what is taught to us. So I think this book is a great read and I recommend it.

I’d recommend this book to any body who want to learn about Marcus Garvey and is hungry for persons who truly believe in the uplifting and empire of black people without any anterior motives.

5.0 out of 5 stars REVIEW DO FYADUB
Reviewed in Brazil on August 25, 2016

Esse livro é uma compilação de poemas e discursos da fase que Garvey residiu nos Estados Unidos. E cobre praticamente todo o desenvolvimento da UNIA e de todo o conceito por trás da Black Star Liner.

Existe realmente uma grande lacuna de conhecimento, quanto ao trabalho desenvolvido por Garvey no decorrer de todos os anos. Ficando em voga a perseguição policial e política quanto suas ideias.

Garvey, numa época em que o segregacionismo racial era gritante, já era um dono de jornal e empresário. O choque cultural de uma sociedade branca, ver um negro bem sucedido, ainda ecoa até hoje.

No livro, os poemas de Garvey abrem uma visão mais ampla do seu trabalho, e a transcrição de seu discurso - talvez, torne sua visão para o leitor mais racional e menos emocionada, quanto posicionamento e discursos de Garvey.

O livro não se trata de uma biografia de Garvey - isso são pinceladas em seus discursos, mas se trata realmente de suas ideias e ideais. É um livro sincero, sem censura ou alterações nos poemas, artigos e discursos de Garvey.

Extremamente bem escrito, dificilmente vai encontrar as gírias ou patois (se espera isso em algum momento), somente vai encontrar a postura concisa e extremamente aberta de Garvey.

Leitura obrigatória para quem busca compreender as manifestações pan-afrianistas e a luta racial a partir do ponto de vista de um dos maiores revolucionários que tivemos em uma história recente.

As a teacher and now entering the mental health professional I highly recommend this book to those of African descendant as it informs you of the greatness of Marcus Garvey. It helped me as i entered a racist arena to know the greatness i came from. Marcus Garvey had a beautiful mind, yet we do not study him in the western society. He was an example to all men. He respected black women and appreciated the intelligence and beauty of ALL complexions of black women. He promoted his race and his works can and is supported 'change' today. He did not hate other races, he simply LOVED his own race. A special man isolated in being ahead of his time. What an Intelligent, proud and defiant hero. Fearless and NOT corrupt at all. He wanted to see his race achieve post slavery. We did not begin at the bottom - Sir Marcus Garvey was taking us BACK to the top. A rare man. A movement is rising to educate the black minds and I am glad to be able to have found this book as it came at a key time for me. His work shall live on and is making a difference. His message is gaining momentum.....we salute you ...forever Sir Marcus Garvey.
