Everything about Garveyism totally explained
Garveyism is an aspect of
Black Nationalism which takes its source from the works, words and deeds of
UNIA-ACL founder
Marcus Garvey. The fundamental focus of Garveyism is the complete, total and never ending redemption of the
continent of
Africa by people of
African ancestry, at home and abroad. It is rooted in one basic idea: "whatsoever things common to man that man has done, man can do". Therefore,
Africa can become as glorious and profoundly advanced in the scientific and technological realm as any, when Africans will it to be.
The tenets of Garveyism are 1) race first 2) self-reliance and 3) nationhood. The ultimate goal of Garveyism is a
United States of Africa which will protect the interests of Black people worldwide.
Garveyism and African Methodism were very similar in their own ways. The main goals of both movements were to empower Africana individuals through attaining a sense of self-worth, as well as the unification of the Africana diaspora worldwide. When Garveyism started to die down in America, it continued to be a major tool of maintaining African interest in black America. The movement started in ports, especially in
Cape Town, and by the end of the year, a Garveyite newspaper,
The Black Man started to surface. The newspaper written by Garvey,
The Negro World surfaced on the
Witwatersrand, and word of mouth helped spread Garveyism and also the notion that black fleets and armies were coming. To Africans, Garveyism brought a vision of liberation and an outlet for African's disillusion with existing authorities (Colonial officials, European missionaries, chiefs, etc.)
