Negro With A Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey by Colin
Grant. New York: Oxford University Press, 2008. ISBN: 978-0-19-536794-2;
pp.530. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In the first full-length biography of Garvey in a generation, the author captures the full sweep and epic dimensions of Garvey's life, the dazzling triumphs and his exile. In this book Grant shows Garvey was a man of contradictions: a self-educated, poetry-writing aesthete and unabashed propagandist, an admirer of Lenin, and a dandy given to elaborate public displays. Above all, he was a shrewd promoter whose use of pageantry to evoked a lost African civilization and fired the imagination of his followers. |
