Description
From Trinidad to 136th Street, these were years of great dreams and righteous demands. Praying or ""jazzing,"" writing letters to the editor or letters home, Caribbean men and women tried on new ideas about the collective. The popular culture of black internationalism they created--from Marcus Garvey's UNIA to ""regge"" dances, Rastafarianism, and Joe Louis's worldwide fandom--still echoes in the present.
