Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-01 00:00:00 Christopher Tovar This book was first published in 1955 and needs to be considered in that context. The constant references to Garvey as a "short, stocky Jamaican" or other variations on that theme are disconcerting. The author gives a mixed review of Garvey's life and accomplishments. But you mostly end with a sense that Garvey's influence was huge even if on the surface he wasn't all that successful in many of his endeavors.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-26 00:00:00 Laura Kennemer I wish this book had been required reading for my graduate community organization class. While the writer seems understandably ambivalent in his views of Marcus Garvey, Garvey's historical impact cannot be dismissed.
