Read the following excerpt from W.E.B. Du Bois writing about the First Pan-African Congress in The Crisis (1919):
'The object of the Congress... is to bring about, by gradual and peaceful steps, the development of the native peoples of Africa, and to secure for them the right to participate in their own government as fast as their development will permit.'
Which of the following best describes how the approach outlined in the excerpt differed from Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) platform?
- AIt advocated for the total repatriation of all Black people in the diaspora to West Africa, whereas the UNIA rejected migration in favor of achieving civil rights within the United States.
- BIt proposed immediate armed revolution to overthrow European colonial administrations, whereas the UNIA sought to establish peaceful trade partnerships with European empires.
- It focused on lobbying Western governments and colonial powers for incremental political representation, whereas the UNIA pursued economic self-reliance and the rapid creation of a sovereign African state.Cevap
- DIt rejected the notion that African civilizations shared a common political destiny, whereas the UNIA argued that all African cultures were identical and lacked diversity.
Cevap
The Pan-African Congress model under W.E.B. Du Bois focused on lobbying colonial powers for gradual representation and self-governance, whereas Marcus Garvey's UNIA emphasized economic self-reliance and the immediate establishment of an independent African state.
The correct option is correct because W.E.B. Du Bois's Pan-African Congresses were characterized by elite-led diplomacy, petitioning colonial powers, and advocating for gradual reforms to grant African peoples participation in their governance. In contrast, Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was a mass populist movement that emphasized economic self-reliance (through ventures like the Black Star Line) and championed the immediate establishment of a sovereign, independent African empire.
