Bücher von Marcus Garvey

Following the imprisonment of her husband in 1922, Amy Jacques Garvey set forth to preserve the dream of Black Nationalism and African independence. Collecting the letters, speeches and essays of Marcus Garvey, she produced the complete philosophies of one of the most controversial yet influential figures in 20th century Black America.

Originally written during his two year imprisonment in Atlanta, The Tragedy of White Injustice and Other Meditations is a collection of short thoughts or, impromptu poetry, from one of the Fathers of Black Nationalism, Marcus Garvey. In 1925, Garvey was tried and sentenced for the crime of mail fraud in relation to his business with the Black Star Line. Left to the mercy of the United States Federal Penitentiary of Atlanta, Garvey had not much to do except write-to his wife, to the U.N.I.A, and to anyone who could help spread his message of total and complete independence for Black people across the world. With the support of his wife, Amy Jacques Garvey, he was able to publish, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey in 1925, and The Meditations of Marcus Garvey in 1927. Beginning with the lines, "Lying and stealing is the white man's game / For rights of God nor man he has no shame / (A practice of his throughout the whole world) / At all, great thunderbolts he has hurled," Garvey penned "The Tragedy of White Injustice," a cry for the people of the world to wake up to the atrocities of colonialism and racism. Described by Garvey as neither verse nor orthodox prose, "The Tragedy of White Injustice" as well as his other meditations, showcased his never-ending pursuit of worldwide Black independence and his everlasting Black pride even in the face of the harshest of circumstances.Including such pieces as, "Keep Cool," "The Black Woman," and "Hail!

When he published this third edition in 1935, Garvey described The Tragedy of White Injustice in these terms: "It must be remembered that this is not an attempt at poetry: it is just a peculiar style of using facts as they impress me as I go through the pages of history and as I look at and note the conduct of the white race." Garvey wrote this "epic poem" in 1927 while in an Atlanta prison. Its first and second editions were published while he was serving a five-year sentence "as the result of the white man's prejudice in America." According to him, at the time of publishing the third edition, thousands of copies had already been circulated all over the world.
