| Line | When Jamaican-born social activist Marcus |
| | Garvey came to the United States in 1916, he |
| | arrived at precisely the right historical moment. |
| | What made the moment right was the return of |
| (5) | African American soldiers from the First World War |
| | in 1918, which created an ideal constituency for |
| | someone with Garveys message of unity, pride, |
| | and improved conditions for African American |
| | communities. |
| (10) | Hoping to participate in the traditional American |
| | ethos of individual success, many African American |
| | people entered the armed forces with enthusiasm, |
| | only to find themselves segregated from white |
| | troops and subjected to numerous indignities. They |
| (15) | returned to a United States that was as segregated |
| | as it had been before the war. Considering similar |
| | experiences, anthropologist Anthony F. C. Wallace |
| | has argued that when a perceptible gap arises |
| | between a cultures expectations and the reality of |
| (20) | that culture, the resulting tension can inspire a |
| | revitalization movement: an organized, conscious |
| | effort to construct a culture that fulfills longstanding |
| | expectations. |
| | Some scholars have argued that Garvey created |
| (25) | the consciousness from which he built, in the 1920s, |
| | the largest revitalization movement in |
| | African American history. But such an argument only |
| | tends to obscure the consciousness of |
| | identity, strength, and sense of history that already |
| (30) | existed in the African American community. Garvey |
| | did not create this consciousness; rather, he gave |
| | this consciousness its political expression. |
