Reviews for The Age of Garvey: How a Jamaican Activist Created a Mass Movement and Changed Global Black Politics
Winner of the 2015 Stuart L. Bernath Book Prize, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations This remarkable book has moved completely away from the stereotyping of Garvey's Africa program as an escapist 'back to Africa' movement. Ewing has enhanced the study of the Garvey movement conceptually and empirically by tracing the networks and pathways of African Garveyism.
