McKay's life and writing were defined by his class consciousness and anticolonialism, shaped by his experiences growing up in colonial Jamaica as well as his early career as a writer in Harlem and then London. Dedicated to confronting both racism and capitalist exploitation, he was a critical observer of the Black condition throughout the African diaspora and became a committed Bolshevik. Winston James offers a revelatory account of McKay's political and intellectual trajectory from his upbringing in Jamaica through the early years of his literary career and radical activism. In 1912, McKay left Jamaica to study in the United States, never to return. James follows McKay's time at the Tuskegee Institute and Kansas State University, as he discovered the harshness of American racism, and his move to Harlem, where he encountered the ferment of Black cultural and political movements and figures such as Hubert Harrison and Marcus Garvey. McKay left New York for London, where his commitment to revolutionary socialism deepened, culminating in his transformation from Fabian socialist to Bolshevik. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, James offers a rich and detailed chronicle of McKay's life, political evolution, and the historical, political, and intellectual contexts that shaped him"-- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a A son of the soil : Jamaica's Claude McKay, 1889-1912 -- Holding the negro in subjection : Claude McKay's Jamaica, 1889-1912 -- Quashie to Buccra and others : McKay's Jamaican poetry of rebellion -- The man who left Jamaica : Claude McKay in 1912 -- "Six silent years" : McKay and America, 1912-1918 -- Fighting back : Claude McKay and the crisis of 1919 -- English innings and left-wing communism : McKay's Bolshevization in Britain 1919-1921 -- Making spring in New Hampshire, the 1917 Club, standing up, and thinking of England. 600 10 $a McKay, Claude, $d 1890-1948. 600 10 $a McKay, Claude, $d 1890-1948 $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a McKay, Claude, $d 1890-1948. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036250 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a African American authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, Jamaican $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jamaican Americans $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Socialism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Black nationalism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799028 650 7 $a Authors, Jamaican. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822143 650 7 $a Black nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833733 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Socialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123637 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a collective biographies. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300080111 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025732.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EFF7149C1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
