Race First: The Ideological and Organizational Struggles of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association

Race First, largely unavailable for several years, will be re-issued as the first book in the new TMP series. Its publication date, August 17, 2020 marks the 133rd anniversary of Marcus Garvey’s birth.

“This book has the important element that is missing in most of the books and articles on Garvey—a political analysis of what the Garvey Movement was about …” —John Henrik Clarke, The Black Scholar

A classic study of the Garvey movement, this is the most thoroughly researched book on Garvey’s ideas by a historian of black nationalism.
