Attacked by the black intelligentsia and ridiculed by the white press, this Jamaican immigrant astonished all with his black nationalist rhetoric. In just four years, he built the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the largest and most powerful all-black organization the nation had ever seen. With hundreds of branches, throughout the United States, the UNIA represented Garvey's greatest accomplishment and, ironically, the source of his public disgrace. \u003ci\u003eBlack Moses\u003c\/i\u003e brings this controversial figure to life and recovers the significance of his life and work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Those who are interested in the revolutionary aspects of the twentieth century in America should not miss Cronon's book.
