Ted Vincent's love for the material and the Black Power Movement saturates this superbly researched book. He presents great detail about the origins of Garveyism and its growth into the largest movement of African people to defeat colonial domination not only in the United States, but all over the world. The second edition, published by Burning Spear/Uhuru Publications, 1988, brings this document full circle. It contains an introduction by Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the African People's Socialist Party. It connects the history of Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association with the leading African working class organization in the world today.
