A whole generation of school children grew up in the West Indies, Afro-America and Africa who never saw the name of Marcus Garvey mentioned in their history books, The man who had led the largest international political movement among Africans in history, disappeared, as it were, from the pages of history. Where he was mentioned, it was usually in a very few sentences suggesting that he was probably a crook and a fool (p. 149). This reviewer vividly recalls his fruitless search for published information on Marcus Garvey when his body was returned to Jamaica in 1964. One's interest in Garvey was inspired by the large crowds which gathered at the Catholic Cathedral adjacent to the secondary school which the reviewer attended. Clearly, the remains of someone of fundamental importance to the ordinary black Jamaican had been returned to his native land where he was being belatedly honoured.
