Martin's scholarly history examines Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association, the largest Black mass movement of the twentieth century, tracing its ideology of race pride and African redemption and its internal and external struggles in the United States, the Caribbean, and beyond. Based on extensive primary research, it remains a standard academic account of Garveyism โ its organization, its critics, and its enduring influence on later Black nationalist movements.
