Reviews

“Unlike previous works that examine Garveyism up to Garvey's deportation, Erik S. McDuffie carries the story forward into the twentieth century. More than this, he expertly and adroitly examines the many formations influenced by Garvey. He then sites these trends in the ‘Diasporic Midwest,’ working to establish this region as a hotbed of Garvey’s legacy. The Second Battle for Africa is a superior work of scholarship.” -- Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History and African American Studies, University of Houston
