Read the following excerpt from a statement by Marcus Garvey:
"If you have no factories, if you have no shipyards, if you have no commercial enterprises, you are not a race; you are simply a collection of individuals at the mercy of organized groups."
Which of the following core tenets of Garveyism is most directly reflected in this excerpt?
- AThe integration of Black workers into established white-dominated labor unions
- Economic self-reliance through the development of independent Black-owned enterprisesCevap
- CThe reliance on diplomatic appeals to European colonial powers to restore African sovereignty
- DThe promotion of a single, uniform culture across all regions of the African continent
Cevap
Economic self-reliance through the development of independent Black-owned enterprises
The correct answer is correct because the excerpt emphasizes the absolute necessity of building infrastructure—such as factories, shipyards, and commercial enterprises—to achieve racial autonomy. This directly aligns with the Garveyite tenet of economic self-reliance, which was institutionalized through the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and initiatives like the Black Star Line.
