Viewed from a top-down perspective, Garvey's movement bears the hallmarks of a chauvinistic, misogynistic nationalism, dominated by male voices, male leadership, and male perspectives, organized into gender-segregated roles that, as Barbara Bair writes, were “not separate and equal but separate and hierarchical.”Footnote 75 And yet scholars have observed something far more interesting in the places where Garvey's organization grew—spaces where such hierarchies were challenged, debated, and sometimes subverted.

He “sought to raise high the walls of racial nationalism at a time when most thoughtful men were seeking to tear down these barriers.” By viewing Garvey's movement as an exercise in escapism, Cronon rendered meaningless the mass following that Garvey had acquired.

Leading historians of the day accepted the conclusions of scientific racism—that, as Columbia University's John W. Burgess put it, a “black skin means membership in a race of men which has never of itself succeeded in subjecting passion to reason; has never, therefore, created any civilization of any kind.”Footnote 8 Rather than consider African Americans as historical actors, American historians played their part in the ongoing construction of the “Negro”—an invented non-agent, as Cedric J. Robinson observes, who existed outside of time and space, who “had no civilization, no cultures, no religion, no history, no place, and finally no humanity that might command consideration.”Footnote 9 W.
