Dr. John Henrik Clarke & Dr. Ben: Marcus Garvey - Pan-Africanism

Dr. John Henrik Clarke and Dr. Ben Jochannan deliver a two-part lecture on Marcus Garvey — nation-state formation and the philosophy behind African nationalism — at Hofstra University. In a powerful joint lecture, Dr. John Henrik Clarke traces Marcus Garvey through the rise and fall of African states and his concept of nation-state formation, while Dr. Ben Jochannan reveals Garvey the scholar, poet, and philosopher — his Kemetic reading, his economics of civilized capitalism, and his devotion to the African woman. A wide-ranging Q&A on Christianity, education, and power follows. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction: Clarke and Ben on Garvey 01:31 Clarke: State Formation Before Slavery 06:00 Fall of Nation-States, Slave Trade 14:29 Garvey, the Maroons, and Jamaica 20:18 Why Black America Heard the Nation-State 32:35 Black Star Line, a Billion-People Vision 41:50 Dr. Ben: Garvey the Scholar and Poet 46:30 Garvey, Kemet, and the Black Madonna 61:16 Capitalism and the Berlin Conference 71:30 Honoring the African Woman 86:20 Q&A: Supremacy, Religion, Education 🔎 IN THIS LECTURE: • For most of history African people were free and self-governing — slavery was not their total experience • Garvey, a master printer and descendant of the Maroons, absorbed the literature of the state across London, Jamaica, and the U.S. • Black America heard the nation-state idea because America gave no illusion of belonging — unlike the British Empire • The Black Star Line was part of a concept of nation: ships to connect and trade between African peoples • Garvey read deeply in Kemetic history — adopting the red, black and green and rejecting second-hand commandments • Garvey's 'civilized capitalism' capped personal wealth so that others could eat • Garvey taught that the African woman's beauty is matched by no other, and a man must control his economy to protect his family 📖 ABOUT: Dr. John Henrik Clarke was a master historian and a founder of Africana Studies; Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan ('Dr. Ben') was an Egyptologist and historian who authored dozens of works on African civilization. 📺 Full lecture on Transatlantic Productions 🔔 Subscribe for rare Black-history lectures:    / @transatlantic   🌐 tapvideo.com ▶ THE NEW BLACK MIND playlist:    • THE NEW BLACK MIND   #MarcusGarvey #PanAfricanism #ANewBlackMind #BlackHistory #Kemet #ANewBlackMind
