Abstract
An investigation into the relationship between American black
photographer James Van DerZee and Marcus Garvey, organizer of
the ""Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA)''. Garvey
requested Van DerZee to put together as complete a photographic
record as was possible of UNIA-related activities. Garvey
appears to have demonstrated a shrewd understanding of the power
of photography.. ""In a society and at a time where a black man
was considered dangerous for daring to claim that black was
beautiful (or handsome), the ideologue (Garvey) and the
photographer (Van DerZee) set out to provide a legacy that
challenged the prevalent stereotypes of black men and women''.
(Originally published in The International Review of African
American Art, 1989).
