Global Garveyism
Garveyism was carried across the globe following the First World War, generating the largest mass movement in the history of the African diaspora. Throughout Africa and Europe, the Americas and Oceania, the ideas and praxis of Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey and his followers sparked anti-colonial and anti-racist mobilizations, both within Garvey’s organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and without. This volume—the first edite…
Third World Dreaming
On September 13, 1970, Eldridge Cleaver, Kathleen Cleaver, and the small contingent of Black Panther Party members stationed in Algiers, Algeria, hosted a reception to celebrate the formal opening of the headquarters of the Party’s international section. The Panthers had been granted diplomatic recognition by the Algerian government, the use of the two-story headquarters, a regular stipend, and other privileges. The festivities were attended by h…
The Age of Garvey: How a Jamaican Activist Created a Mass Movement and Changed Global Black Politics
Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey (1887–1940) organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Harlem in 1917. By the early 1920s, his program of African liberation and racial uplift had attracted millions of supporters, both in the United States and abroad. This book presents an expansive global history of the movement that came to be known as Garveyism. Offering a groundbreaking new interpretation of global black politics between the Firs…
Muigwithania (The Reconciler)
This chapter explores the extent to which interwar Kikuyu nationalism was forged in the context of broader African rhythms. In particular, interwar Kikuyu activists joined their brethren throughout the continent in pursuing contacts with Garveyist and other pan-Africanist organizers, absorbing the lessons of African Garveyism, and implementing those lessons in conversation with their particular needs, grievances, and opportunities. After the brie…
Broadcast on the Winds
This chapter considers how religious practices had acquired a radical visage, an anticolonial posture, at those moments when they offered a viable means of articulating a conflict, a lingua franca within which both colonizer and colonized might revisit the terms of their relationship. For millennial revivals in southern and central Africa, Garveyism provided this very device. Garveyites sustained, facilitated, and amplified a diasporic field of m…
Africa for the Africans!
This chapter examines the extent of Garveyism's global reach in the aftermath of World War I. It looks at how the spread of radical Garveyism transcended its West Indian skeleton, enlivening the dreams of black men and women throughout the Americas and Africa, projecting a dazzling interpretation of world events and scriptural destiny that built on and paid respect to rich histories of struggle while plotting a new future and a new identity—a New…
The Visible Horizon
This chapter examines the efforts of a cadre of clerks, ministers, traders, and workers in the central African colonies of Nyasaland (Malawi) and Northern Rhodesia to nurture the Garveyite movement behind a guise of cautious reformism and under the watchful eyes of the state. This group founded “Native Welfare Associations” and independent churches, ostensibly apolitical vessels through which to assist the colonial governments in their project of…
Afterword
This concluding chapter reflects on the success of Garveyism in both the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean. It considers how the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) had offered a powerful ideological and political vehicle for African activists during the dark years of interwar European rule, and how the impact of Garveyism continues to be felt in the continent. In the United States, as in Africa, the efforts of American Garveyit…
