Carlos Cooks: And Black Nationalism from Garvey to Malcom X

Edited by Robert Harris, Nyota Harris and Grandassa Harris

" Cooks was a pioneer in the abandonment of that 'ominous word ' Negro. He pioneered natural hair styles through his " Miss Natural Standard of Beauty " contests and fostered a Pan African outlook. He kept the name of Marcus Garvey alive with his annual Garvey Day parades. He also waged a Buy Black campaign in an effort to establish Black control of the African American community's economic life."

African Fundamentalism:
A Literary and Cultural Anthology of Garvey's Harlem Renaissance
Compiled and Edited by Tony Martin
 
The real roots of the Harlem Renaissance lie in the Garvey movement. Zora Neale Hurston, Alain Locke and Claude McKay all published in the Negro World before the  "mainstream" renaissance got going. African America's first book reviews and literary competitions came out of the Garvey Movement. This volume represents a rich treasury of literary criticism, book reviews , poetry, short stories,  music and art appreciation, polemics on the Black aesthetic  and other never before published  literary and cultural writings of Garvey's Harlem Renaissance. Authors range from the unknown to major literary and political figures whose Garvey connections few will suspect.
 
 
" A veritable feast....For the poetry section alone this book should be in every school library....The introductions to each chapter by the compiler are little gems in their own right with potted biographies, snippets of social  history, together with some witty incisive comments.... There  is a useful list of contributors....and a good index....There is so much in this book, that it is hard to pinpoint any one excellent aspect. The only remedy, is to buy it, read it...."   
 
-Sunday Gleaner (Jamaica).
