Answer:

The concept of "race" was central to Garvey's concept of nationalism, around which his ideas about the place and role of the Black population in all spheres of life were formed. His views had a great influence on the African American public, leading to the creation of the popular Back to Africa movement in the 1920s, the main goal of which was to achieve independence of the black continent with the subsequent migration of the black American population to Africa. The views and philosophy of Marcus Garvey in solving the problems of the black population were formed under the influence of movements that were previously popular in the Black environment, such as Pan-Africanism, as well as the “adaptation” movement of B. Washington. However, Garvey was the first who was able to collect such diverse ideas into a coherent concept, the main characteristic of which was Black nationalism.
