Classical Black nationalism

from the American Revolution to Marcus Garvey

Edición de la obra Classical Black Nationalism

Classical Black Nationalism traces the evolution of black nationalist thought through several phases, from its "proto-nationalistic" phase in the late 1700s through a hiatus in the 1830s, through its flourishing in the 1850s, its eventual eclipse in the 1870s, and its resurgence in the Garvey movement of the 1920s. Moses incorporates a wide range of black nationalist perspectives, including African American capitalists Paul Cuffe and James Forten, Robert Alexander Young from his "Ethiopian Manifesto," and more well-known voices such as those of Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. Du Bois, and others.
