Garvey, Marcus

Poetry

The New Marcus Garvey Library, No. 2 A great many people have been surprised and pleased al discovering that Honorable Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is a poet of high order: that is, that lie possesses in large measure the divine power of expressing himself in tin1 language of poetry, which a distinguished authority has declared to be the sublimest expression of the human soul after perfection. Only those who have suffered greatly or felt the ecstacies of joy in its highest and purest form, are capable of reaching the depths in poetic expression which affect and move great masses of people. -T. Thomas Fortune, NEGRO WOULD (1927) 'Marcus Garvey was many things race leader, journalist, orator and ideologist. . . . He was also a poet, and his poetical works are collected here for the first lime. . . . f rom a purely literary standpoint, he inspired better poetry than he himself produced. . . . Even so, however, lie could still justify the attempt, for he saw Ids verse as an important supplementary vehicle for propagating his ideas. And these are the ideas upon which the world's greatest Pan-African movement was built. -From the PREFACE TON\ .MARTIN is professor and chairman of the Black Studies department al Wellesley College, Massachusetts, lie is author of Race First: The Ideological and Organizational Struggles of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (1970), The Pan-A frican Connection (1983), Literary Garvey ism: Garvey, Black Arts and the Harlem Renaissance (1983) and Marcus Garvey, Hero: 1 First Biography (1983).

Marcus Garvey, Hero: A First Biography

Biographies & Memoirs

Tony Martin, the distinguished professor of African American and Caribbean history at Wellesley College is determined to rescue Amy Ashwood Garvey from obscurity, and place her not only in the forefront of the Marcus Garvey pantheon, but also in the feminist and Pan-African movements of the twentieth century. His book, Amy Ashwood Garvey: Pan-Africanist, Feminist, and Mrs. Marcus Garvey No. 1, Or, A Tale of Two Amies is, indeed, a marvel of scholarship. He tells us that he worked on this book for some twenty-seven years, and it shows. The number of references alone is enough to inspire awe. Martin has done everything and has been everywhere, in the quest to present Amy Ashwood Garvey as a real person, bereft of any unnecessary sociological or psychological encrustations. In doing so, Martin also presents facts and insights on the life of Marcus Garvey hitherto unknown.... Professor Martin appears determined to keep the Garveys in front of us for as long as he lives (he has given us eight very good books already). [In "this richly researched and deeply-delved book,"] Professor Martin has brought to life, and in such fine detail, a charismatic and driven woman who not many would emulate, but most likely would appreciate. - - John C. Walter, Afro-Americans in New York Life and History .

This volume presents a rich treasury of literary criticism, book reviews, poetry, short stories, music and art appreciation, polemics on the Black aesthetic and other never before published literary and cultural writings of Garvey's Harlem Renaissance.
