Prof. Taylor sheds light on the life of a lesser known Garveyite: Amy Jacques Garvey, a prolific writer and activist. Most known as the second wife of Marcus Garvey, Jacques Garvey is responsible for editing "The Philosophies and Opinions of Marcus Garvey." Taylor puts her life in historic context and deftly portrays her struggles.
