Set the World on Fire: Black Nationalist Women and the Global Struggle for Freedom
Set the World on Fire (University of Pennsylvania Press) is a historical account of an overlooked group of women who fought for black nationalist causes, such as a bill that would relocate black Americans to West Africa. These women — Mittie Maude Lena Gordon, Celia Jane Allen, Amy Jacques Garvey, and others — built alliances with people of color across the world and fought for global black liberation.
