Description: "This lucidly written and accessible book gives a unique account of Marcus Garvey, a Black Nationalist, and a leader of the Pan Africanist movement, and his vision of African freedom and development, as well as his mission to unify and connect all people of African descent. The book does not only offer insights into Marucs Garvey's philosophies and the various endeavours he embarked on to promote Pan-Africanism and African development; it also outlines contradictions afflicting people of African descent, and how these can be overcome within the broader context of a shared decolonial African cultural project of emancipation and unity..." Professor Felix Banda, Department of Linguistics, University of the Western Cape."--Back cover.
