The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey

The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey

In this biography, Ula Taylor explores the life and ideas of one of the most important, if largely unsung, Pan-African freedom fighters of the twentieth century: Amy Jacques Garvey (1895-1973). Born in Jamaica, Amy Jacques moved in 1917 to Harlem, where she became involved in the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the largest Pan-African organization of its time.

She served as the private secretary of UNIA leader Marcus Garvey; in 1922, they married. Soon after, she began to give speeches and to publish editorials urging black women to participate in the Pan-African movement and addressing issues that affected people of African descent across the globe.

After her husband's death in 1940, Jacques Garvey emerged as a gifted organizer for the Pan-African cause. Although she faced considerable male chauvinism, she persisted in creating a distinctive feminist voice within the movement.

In her final decades, Jacques Garvey constructed a thriving network of Pan-African contacts, including Nnamdi Azikiwe, Kwame Nkrumah, George Padmore, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Taylor examines the many roles Jacques Garvey played throughout her life, as feminist, black nationalist, journalist, daughter, mother, and wife. Tracing her political and intellectual evolution, the book illuminates the leadership and enduring influence of this remarkable activist.

The Boondocks is a rich, multilayered comic strip that offers a frank yet often funny look at race in America. It starts with a simple premise: Two young boys, Riley and Huey, move from inner-city Chicago to live with their grandfather in the suburbs.

The tension increases, however, because the two boys are African-Americans now compelled to adapt to a white suburban world. They must take all they've learned in the "hood" and apply it to life in the 'burbs. Superbly illustrated, The Boondocks has stirred controversy, attracted widespread media coverage, and won readers who've applauded McGruder's unapologetic and humorous approach to race.

In this second collection of Boondocks cartoons, readers can get another look at this innovative strip.

I am Nadi Hamad from Gaza, I am 25 years old, and my house, my dream, my loved ones, and my life have been destroyed, and because I only have a tent without a cover and clothes, and I have a job as a men’s barber, and people do not have money to shave, and I help them with a free shave, and I want you to support me in being able to help diamonds and children get a free shave, and thank you to everyone who helps me.

I shave for the sad children of Gaza who have tasted fear, hunger and destruction, and shave for them free of charge and draw a beautiful smile on their faces and make them forget the deadly pain. I want you to support me and thank you.

The children of Gaza need help to make them happy and put a smile on their faces. Help me

A History of Modern Africa: 1800 to the Present (2nd ed. 2012)[Blackwell Concise History of the Modern World]

A History of Modern Africa: 1800 to the Present (2nd ed. 2012)[Blackwell Concise History of the Modern World]

Updated and revised to emphasise long-term perspectives on current issues facing the continent, the new 2nd Edition of A History of Modern Africa recounts the full breadth of Africa's political, economic, and social history over the past two centuries.

A History of Modern Africa explores two centuries of the continent’s political, economic, and social history. This thorough yet accessible text help readers to understand key concepts, recognize significant themes, and identify the processes that shaped the modern history of Africa.

Emphasis is placed on the consequences of colonial rule, and the links between the precolonial and postcolonial eras. Author Richard Reid, a prominent scholar and historian on the subject, argues that Africa’s struggle for economic and political stability in the nineteenth century escalated and intensified through the twentieth century, the effects of which are still felt in the present day. 

The new third edition offers substantial updates and revisions that consider recent events and historiography. Greater emphasis is placed on African agency, particularly during the colonial period, and the importance of the long-term militarization of African political culture. Discussions of the postcolonial period have been updated to reflect recent developments, including those in North Africa. Adopting a long-term approach to current African issues, this text: 

Explores the legacies of the nineteenth century and the colonial period in the context of the contemporary era

Highlights the role of nineteenth century and long-term internal dynamics in Africa’s modern challenges

Combines recent scholarship with concise and effective narrative

Features maps, illustrations, expanded references, and comprehensive endnotes

A History of Modern Africa: 1800 to the Present, 3rd Edition is an excellent introduction to the subject for undergraduate students in relevant courses, and for general readers with interest in modern African history and current affairs.
