Adam Ewing is assistant professor of African American studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Winner of the 2015 Stuart L. Bernath Book Prize, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations "This remarkable book has moved completely away from the stereotyping of Garvey's Africa program as an escapist 'back to Africa' movement. Ewing has enhanced the study of the Garvey movement conceptually and empirically by tracing the networks and pathways of African Garveyism."--Rupert Lewis, New West Indian Guide "The Age of Garvey is ambitious in its scope and argument, both of which are made clear by the book's title. Ewing succeeds in making the case for the worldwide nature and significance of Garveyism, bringing to bear his own meticulous original research in Africa, all of the relevant scholarship that is available, and his learned understanding of diversity within the global diaspora. It is hard to imagine a more coherent and informed presentation of this extremely complex and elusive subject."--Mary G. Rolinson, Nova Religio
