In many ways the 1920 convention marked the high-point of the Garvey movement in the United States, while Garvey's tour of the Caribbean, in the winter and spring of 1921, registered the greatest outpouring of popular support for the UNIA in its history. The period covered in the present volume was the moment of the movement's political apotheosis, as well as the moment when the finances of Garvey's Black Star Line went into free ­fall. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eVolume XII\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the centrality of the Caribbean people not only to the convention, but also to the movement. The reports to the convention discussed the range of social and economic conditions obtaining in the Caribbean, particularly their impact on racial conditions. The quality of the discussions and debates were impressive. Contained in these reports are some of the earliest and most clearly enunciated statements in defense of social and political freedom in the Caribbean. These documents form an underappreciated and still underutilized record of the political awakening of Caribbean people of African descent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Garvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822357372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822357377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 6.80w x 1.30d","brand":"Marcus Garvey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244017500415,"sku":"9780822357377","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2820f24-d947-41f2-a67b-2f4cc6d4d002.jpg?v=1758134732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-marcus-garvey-and-universal-marcus-garvey-9780822357377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
