 The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey, by Ula Yvette Taylor. Chapter 1.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Amy was born on 31 December 1895 in Jamaica's capital city of Kingston, the heart of the island's commercial, industrial, and professional life.[2] Horse-drawn wagons and carriages still roamed the poorly paved streets, but the loud cable cars gave this otherwise tranquil place a citified air.
Amy often credited him with her intellectual development and apparently loved him dearly, but as the product of an environment where individuals often prejudged others based on appearance, she recalled how "she had been ashamed of her father coming to school because of his dark color."[15] Her reaction was one of self-preservation.
Amy's strong personality—presumably an antithesis to her mother's—was perhaps in part a reflection of her father's displacement of his wish for a son onto a desire to rear a strong daughter.

Amy Garvey's words are in stark contrast to those of W.E.B du Bois, one of Garvey's contemporaries and main detractors and the founder of the NAACP.
Garvey's intimate knowledge of the ideology of colourism made him one of the few at that time to publicly expose the truth of it in the United States where the impression was often given that the situation did not apply the same way that it did in the West Indies.
Certainly Garvey was a 'rabble-rouser'; it was this 'rabble', their efforts, their conviction and their organization that needed to be roused and that the integrationists seemed to have forgotten about when they proclaimed fl love and fl freedom.

 H-Net Review: Joan Marie Johnson on The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey
Amy Jacques was raised as a light-skinned child of privilege who identified herself as "brown," rather than "fl" like the majority of dark-skinned Jamaicans, who did not share the wealth and education available to Garvey's class.
Garvey's attraction to Amy Jacques was a fascinating contradiction of his personal taste and his political beliefs--he apparently fell in love with her long wavy fl hair, even though he proclaimed kinky fl hair beautiful.
A major flaw in Jacques Garvey's philosophy of community feminism was the split between private and public behavior that it effectively created--women were to defer to their husbands at home, yet to be treated as equals in public in the Pan-Africanist movement by the very same men.
