“…This included debates over whether Garvey failed to “enunciate a principle politics,” whether his Pan-Africanism belief was a rhetorical tool for Black pride or whether his followers perhaps “misinterpreted Garvey's call for independence to mean property ownership, free of debt, and mistook his race rhetoric as an endorsement of their local needs” (Patsides, 2007, p. 280). Unlike other Black leaders of his time, Garvey was less interested in class 17 or gender but instead, his focus was on racial self-representation, self-determination, and transnationalism (Graves, 1962; Hansford, 2009; Jagmohan, 2020; Patsides, 2007; Satter, 1996).…”

This paper engages the U.S.-focused social equity literature and its ahistorical understanding of its pre-1968 intellectual histories. We use racial contract theory to highlight the epistemological necessity of a disciplinary reconsideration. We suggest that intellectual histories bound to an exclusively academic voice negate a fuller understanding of lived realities. By engaging the work of a Jamaican-born activist like Marcus Garvey and his significant inroads into 1910s and 1920s America, we create an updated historical understanding of social equity that challenges the disciplinary script.
