| Abstract | This book charts the journey of Black feminist, artist-researcher, and curator Nydia A. Swaby as she pieces together a biography of Pan-Africanist and feminist Amy Ashwood Garvey from her scattered archive. In turn, it offers a reflection on the future of Black feminist archival practice. Often referred to as the first wife of Marcus Garvy, Amy Ashwood Garvey's contributions to movements for social justice, and in particular Black women's rights, have been largely forgotten, not least since archives about her life and work are spread across the various places she lived...Swaby recovers Amy's life and work as an important political activist, cultural producer and Pan-Africanist in her own right, retracing her steps across the Caribbean, US, Britain and West Africa -- adapted from back cover |
