Dr. Rhone Fraser presents "To A More Positive Purpose: Critical Responses to the Scholarship of Tony Martin"
Now in the twenty-first century, as an increasing number of academic studies focus on Marcus Garvey and the Garvey movement, this book is the first comprehensive edited collection to examine the scholarship of former Africana Studies Chair at Wellesley College, Dr. Tony Martin.
This collection includes Hone Fraser’s survey of Martin’s Marcus Garvey Library. Other contributors whose articles respond to specific aspects of Martin’s work include: Ian Smart, Joshua Myers, Rupert Lewis, Geoffrey Philp, Wendy McBurney, Latif Tarik, Ophera Davis, and April Shemak.
RHONE FRASER was the 2023-2024 Visiting Associate Professor of African American Studies at Penn State University. He taught on the faculty of Temple, Princeton, and Howard Universities. He is the author of Pauline Hopkins and Advocacy Journalism and he is co-editor of Critical Responses about the Black Family in Toni Morrison's God Help the Child. He edited a Special Issue of the Journal of Pan African Studies about the fiction of novelist Elizabeth Nunez. He is currently working on an anthology of the playwright Leslie Lee (1935-2014).
