4.9/5 (20440 ratings)

Description:“In Search of Mr. McKenzie is a book written by two black England-born Caribbean women about their quest for their father. Years of investigation by the sisters who were raised in children's homes revealed that Ernest McKenzie-Mavinga was a dedicated activist of the Pan Africanist movement who traveled from his home island, Trinidad, to Britain and perhaps Africa. The Caribbean family he left behind (Trinidadian wife Catherine Eugenia and daughter Lynda, the sole survivor of her mother's nine children) and his abandoned English family (Lithuanian Jewish refugee wife Elsie; her daughter by a previous marriage, Sheila; and their four children—Andrew Arthur Cipriani. Teddy Albert [after Marryshow], Thelma Mary and Jane who renamed herself Isha) knew nothing of each other. Neither family knew of his Pan Africanist work and his comrades in the movement seemed to have been unaware of the existence of the women or the children. In the book there is a photograph of Caribbean delegates at the Fifth Pan African Conference held in Manchester, October 1945, with Ernest McKenzie, Lushington, Gittings, Rojas and George Padmore of Trinidad, D. M. Harper of British Guiana, Ken Hill of Jamaica, and a single woman, Amy Garvey. (Mackenzie-Mavinga and Perkins 1991).”--Bonita Harris, “Caribbean Women & Pan Africanism,” African Journal of Political Science, 1996: Vol. 1, No. 1.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
