To A More Positive Purpose: Critical Responses to the Scholarship of Tony Martin

Now in the twenty-first century, as an increasing number of academic studies focus on Marcus Garvey and the Garvey movement, this book, To A More Positive Purpose: Critical Responses to the Scholarship of Tony Martin, is the first comprehensive edited collection to examine the scholarship of former Africana Studies Chair at Wellesley College, Dr. Tony Martin.

This collection includes Hone Fraser’s survey of Martin’s Marcus Garvey Library. Other contributors whose articles respond to specific aspects of Martin’s work include: Ian Smart, Joshua Myers, Rupert Lewis, Geoffrey Philp, Wendy McBurney, Latif Tarik, Ophera Davis, and April Shemak.
