The Veiled Garvey: The Life & Times of Amy Jacques Garvey. By Ula Yvette Taylor. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2002. xii, 310 pp. Cloth, $39.95, ISBN 0-8078-2718-5. Paper, $18.95, ISBN 0-8078-5386-0.)

Anxious to recover his reputation, Marcus Garvey asked Amy to edit two volumes of his Philosophy and Opinions (1923, 1925) and distribute them to America's opinion leaders, including members of the United States Congress.	. . .
