Assignment Task: Essay question
African nationalism is deeply interconnected to the movements for liberation in the Caribbean. 1922, Marcus Garvey states, "George Washington was not God Almighty. He was a man like any Negro in this building, and if he and his associates were able to make a free America, we too can make a free Africa". Meanwhile Kwame Nkrumah commented in 1963, "we cannot rest content until we have demolished this miserable structure...we must go forward with our preparations for planned economic growth to supplant the poverty, ignorance, disease, illiteracy and degradation left in their wake by discredited colonialism and decaying imperialism".
Explain how the language of the Atlantic Revolution was translated from the America to the Caribbean to Africa to establish an "African" liberation movement?
