Tony Martin

    Tony Martin était un professeur d'études africaines au Wellesley College dont le travail a suscité une controverse considérable. Ses recherches ont exploré les affirmations selon lesquelles la philosophie grecque aurait plagié des sources africaines et ont examiné la participation juive dans la traite des esclaves américaine. Ces sujets ont déclenché un débat important et ont attiré la condamnation de la faculté de Wellesley, qui a jugé ses écrits stéréotypés racialement et antisémites. Le livre le plus connu de Martin est né d'un incident sur le campus qui a dégénéré en un discours public sur la liberté d'expression et la liberté académique.

    • This collection of Garvey's writing remains the most famous collection of Garvey's speeches and essays. Marcus Garvey and the "Universal Negro Improvement Association" form a critical link in black America's centuries-long struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. As the leader of the largest organized mass movement in black history and progenitor of the modern "black is beautiful" ideal, Garvey is now best remembered as a champion of the back-to-Africa movement. In his own time he was hailed as a redeemer, a "Black Moses." Though he failed to realize all his objectives, his movement still represents an attempt at liberation from the psychological bondage of racial inferiority.

      In 1937, Marcus Garvey, founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and one of the most controversial figures in the history of race relations, assembled his most trusted organizers to impart his life's lessons. For one month he instructed this elite student body — at its peak the largest international mass movement of African peoples — on topics ranging from universal knowledge and how to attain it to leadership, character, God, and the social system.  A crucial guide to the understanding of Garvey's philosophy and teachings, Message to the People features profound insights into the nascent days of the Civil Rights movement. This volume will prove an enlightening companion to students of African American and twentieth-century history.

    • Originally published in two volumes between 1923 and 1925, Africa for Africans; Or, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey is a compilation of letters, speeches and essays by one of the Fathers of Pan-Africanism. Hailed by Martin Luther King Jr. as, "the first man of color...to make the Negro feel like he was somebody," Garvey was a polarizing yet influential figure whose legacy continues to be felt today. These philosophies, collected by his second wife and pioneering journalist, Amy Jacques Garvey, chronicle Garvey's initial impressions and recollections of America, the formation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (U.N.I.A.), his imprisonment and subsequent trial over the Black Star Line, and his scathing opinions of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N.A.A.C.P.) Including such pieces as, "An Appeal to the Soul of White America," "The Negro's Greatest Enemy," and "Declaration of Rights of the Negroes of the World," Africa for Africans; Or, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey is an essential piece of Black history, professionally typeset and reimagined for modern readers.

      Set against a backdrop of impending terror, the narrative follows a four-man team of Cuban terrorists who devastate a Texas region, resulting in over 100,000 deaths and long-term economic destruction. Written 15 years before the World Trade Center attacks, the story explores themes of vulnerability in national security and the impact of small unit attacks on critical infrastructure. Initially shelved due to concerns about inciting real-world violence, the author later revisited the work to reflect shifting political landscapes, drawing from his experiences managing public water supplies.
