Black Moses The Story of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association E. David Cronon With a Foreword by John Hope Franklin "I stand before you this afternoon as a proud black man, honored to be a black man, who would be nothing else in God's creation but a black man."— Marcus Garvey, 1928 This landmark book, with more than 89,000 copies sold, is now available with an updated cover design. "Those who are interested in the revolutionary aspects of the twentieth century in America should not miss Cronon's book. It makes exciting reading."—The Nation "A very readable, factual, and well-documented biography of Marcus Garvey."—George Schuyler, The Crisis, NAACP "In a short, swiftly moving, penetrating biography, Mr. Cronon has made the first real attempt to narrate the Garvey story. From the Jamaican's traumatic race experiences on the West Indian island to dizzy success and inglorious failure on the mainland, the major outlines are here etched with sympathy, understanding and insight."—Leslie H. Fishel, Jr., Mississippi Valley Historical Review (now the Journal of American History) "Good reading for all serious history students."—Jet "A vivid, detailed, and sound portrait of a man and his dreams." —Political Science Quarterly E.
