The focus of this course is on the development of Garveyism as a social movement in the early decades of the twentieth century and its impact on contemporary movements for decolonization in the Diaspora and in Africa.  The socio-political practice of the Garvey movement will be examined in order to ascertain its Pan-Africanist appeal.  Students will be exposed to primary source materials at the National Library of Jamaica, the multi-volume Marcus Garvey and the UNIA Paper and recent literature on the Garvey movement so that they can decide on research topics.
