Arguing that the accomplishments of Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey and his followers have been marginalized in narratives of the black freedom struggle, this volume draws on decades of overlooked research to reveal the profound impact of Garvey's post-World War I black nationalist philosophy around the world and across the twentieth century.

This volume--the first edited collection devoted to Garveyism studies in three decades--showcases original essays by scholars working in Africa, the West Indies, the Hispanic Caribbean, North America, and Australia. Garveyism was carried across the globe following the First World War, generating the largest mass movement in the history of the African diaspora.
