title: The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey
author: Ula Yvette Taylor
description: "In this meticulous rendering of Amy Jacques Garvey's life and ideas, Taylor moves us to reconsider what we think we know about black women's activism during the first decades of the twentieth century. This biographer dares to go where few will in her analysis of nationalism, feminism and twentieth-century black women's political thought. Undoubtedly, this is a significant and timely contribution. (Chana Kai Lee, author of "For Freedom's Sake: The Life of Fannie Lou Hamer")"<br /><br />"A fine study of Marcus Garvey's second wife that is well thought out and clearly written and gives intellectual and political autonomy to its subject. It is at the same time a feminist critique of the patriarchal characteristics of Marcus Garvey and the Garvey movement. The author makes an accurate estimate of the intellectual, organizational and personal strengths of one of the most remarkable activists in Garveyite Pan-Africanism in the United States from the 1920s through to her death in Jamaica in 1973. (Rupert Lewis, author of "Marcus Garvey: Anti-Colonial Champion")"

  AT the end of 1811—an epoch memorable to us—there lived on his estate
  Nenaradovo kind Gavril Gavrilovitch R. He was renowned in the district for his
  friendliness and hospitality ; neighbours came to his house at every hour of
  the day to have a meal and a drink, to play a game of cards for five copecks
  stakes with his wife, and some to have a look at their daughter, Marya
  Gavrilovna, a pale and graceful girl of seventeen. She was considered an
  heiress, and many thought of her as a good match for themselves or for their
  sons.
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  Marya Gavrilovna was brought up on French novels, and consequently was in
  love. She selected as the subject o
