In the third edition of The Tragedy of White Injustice, Marcus Garvey presents a unique style of conveying historical facts, describing it as not an attempt at poetry but a peculiar way of interpreting history and observing the conduct of the white race. Garvey wrote this "epic poem" while incarcerated in an Atlanta prison. The first and second editions were published during a five-year sentence, a result of racial prejudice in America. Garvey mentions that by the time of the third edition, thousands of copies had already circulated globally. The inspiration for its publication was Mussolini's actions in attempting to conquer Abyssinia, which Garvey deemed "savage-like."
