A
collection
of
poetry
from
the
award-winning,
Jamaican-American
author
of
Home
to
Harlem.In
Harlem
Shadows,
poet
and
writer
Claude
McKay
touches
on
a
variety
of
themes
as
he
celebrates
his
Jamaican
heritage
and
sheds
light
on
the
Black
American
experience.
While
the
title
poem
follows
sex
workers
on
the
streets
of
Harlem
in
New
York
City,
the
sight
of
fruit
in
a
window
in
“The
Tropics
of
New
York”
reminds
the
author
of
his
old
life
in
Jamaica.
“If
We
Must
Die”
was
written
in
response
to
the
Red
Summer
of
1919,
when
Black
Americans
around
the
country
were
attacked
by
white
supremacists.
And
in
“After
the
Winter,”
McKay
offers
a
feeling
of
hope.Born
in
Jamaica
in
1889,
McKay
first
visited
the
United
States
in
1912.
He
traveled
the
world
and
eventually
became
an
American
citizen
in
1940.
His
work
influenced
the
likes
of
James
Baldwin
and
Richard
Wright.“One
of
the
great
forces
in
bringing
about
.
.
.
the
Negro
literary
Renaissance.”
—James
Weldon
Johnson,
author
of
The
Autobiography
of
an
Ex–Colored
Man“This
is
[McKay’s]
first
book
of
verse
to
be
published
in
the
United
States,
but
it
will
give
him
the
high
place
among
American
poets
to
which
he
is
rightfully
entitled.”
—Walter
F.
White,
author
of Flight
