520 2  "Tammy L. Brown uses the life stories of West Indian 
       intellectuals to investigate the dynamic history of 
       immigration to New York and the long battle for racial 
       equality in modern America. The majority of the 40,000 
       black immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island during the 
       first wave of Caribbean immigration to New York hailed 
       from the English-speaking Caribbean--mainly Jamaica, 
       Barbados, and Trinidad. Arriving at the height of the 
       Industrial Revolution and a new era in black culture and 
       progress, these black immigrants dreamed of a more 
       prosperous future. However, northern-style Jim Crow 
       hindered their upward social mobility. In response, 
       Caribbean intellectuals delivered speeches and sermons, 
       wrote poetry and novels, and created performance art 
       pieces challenging the racism that impeded their success. 
       Brown traces the influences of religion as revealed at 
       Unitarian minister Ethelred Brown's Harlem Community 
       Church and in Richard B. Moore's fiery speeches on Harlem 
       street corners during the age of the 'New Negro.' She 
       investigates the role of performance art and Pearl 
       Primus's declaration that 'dance is a weapon for social 
       change' during the long civil rights movement. Shirley 
       Chisholm's advocacy for women and all working-class 
       Americans in the House of Representatives and as a 
       presidential candidate during the peak of the Feminist 
       Movement moves the book into more overt politics. Novelist
       Paule Marshall's insistence that black immigrant women be 
       seen and heard in the realm of American Arts and Letters 
       at the advent of 'multiculturalism' reveals the power of 
       literature. The wide-ranging styles of West Indian 
       campaigns for social justice reflect the expansive 
       imaginations and individual life stories of each 
       intellectual Brown studies. In addition to deepening our 
       understanding of the long battle for racial equality in 
       America, these life stories reveal the powerful interplay 
       between personal and public politics"--|cProvided by
