Marcus Garvey: Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop and the African Diaspora By James G. Spady
Spady re-examines the history of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement
Association, as well as their legacies across the twentieth century. It focuses
on the lives of Marcus Garvey, Thomas W. Harvey (successor to Garvey), Jean
Harvey Slappy, Joseph A. Bailey, Esq., and the continuity of thought and action
in the Black Power/Black Arts Movement, Rastafarianism, Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop,
and Dancehall. How did Garveyism influence artists and theorists as varied as:
Black Arts proponent Larry Neal; Jazz musicians Max Roach, Dave Burrell, and
Grachan Moncur, III; Reggae musicians Burning Spear, Cherine Anderson, Bob
Marley, Peter Tosh; and many others?
