Much of her writing has remained unavailable to the public, lost to the archives, until now. \u003ci\u003eAmy Jacques Garvey: Selected Writings from th\u003c\/i\u003ee Negro World, \u003ci\u003e1923-1928\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to fill this void by making her writings in the \u003ci\u003eNegro World\u003c\/i\u003ewidely available for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Editor Louis J. Parascandola compiles a wide swath of Jacques Garvey's work in this groundbreaking collection. Born and educated in Jamaica, Jacques Garvey's atypical opportunity to receive education at elite Jamaican schools, along with her later jobs as a clerk and secretary, prepared her for future positions as journalist and political administrator. She also possessed the rhetorical skills and independent thinking that would help her challenge Marcus Garvey and the other men in Garvey's organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA). In allowing Jacques Garvey's work to largely speak for itself, the volume reveals that she concerned herself with a diversity of important and often controversial political and social issues rather than the stereotypical domestic matters expected of most woman's pages of the time period. \u003cp\u003e By examining her selected writings in the \u003ci\u003eNegro World, \u003c\/i\u003e this volume affords its readers a better understanding of Jacques Garvey's powerful contribution not only to Garveyism but also to the growth of Black radical thought, anti-imperialist ideology, and the rights of third-world women. This timely study sheds new light on Jacques Garvey's pivotal role as a Black female writer and thinker during the twenties. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLOUIS J.
