A pioneering Pan Africanist, Garveyite, and poet from the Caribbean island of Dominica, JR Ralph Casimir (1898-1996) played an important role as an agent and organizer in the eastern Caribbean for Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line. For more than half a century, he fearlessly confronted not just colonial rule but his island's elites. This biography, lovingly written by his granddaughter, explores his political and personal life and sheds much light on little-known aspects of Dominica's march to independence.
