May 22, 1948, Chicago), Jamaican-born poet and novelist whose Home to Harlem (1928) was the most popular novel written by an American black to that time. Before going to the U.S. in 1912, he wrote two volumes of Jamaican dialect verse, Songs of Jamaica and Constab Ballads After attending Tuskegee Institute (1912) and Kansas State Teachers College (1912-14), McKay went to New York in 1914, where he contributed regularly to The Liberator , then a leading journal of avant-garde politics and art. The shock of American racism turned him from the conservatism of his youth. With the publication of two volumes of poetry, Spring in New Hampshire (1920) and Harlem Shadows (1922), McKay emerged as the first and most militant voice of the Harlem Renaissance q.v. ). After 1922 McKay lived successively in the Soviet Union, France, Spain, and Morocco. In both Home to Harlem and Banjo (1929), he attempted to capture the vitality and essential health of the uprooted black vagabonds of urban America and Europe. There followed a collection of short stories, Gingertown (1932), and another novel

Extractions: Source Songs of Jamaica (1912) and Constab Ballads Having heard favorable reports of the work of Booker T. Washington, McKay enrolled at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama with the intention of studying agronomy; it was here that he first encountered the harsh realities of American racism, which would form the basis for much of his subsequent writing. He soon left Tuskegee for Kansas State College in Manhattan, Kansas. In 1914 a financial gift from Jekyll enabled him to move to New York, where he invested in a restaurant and married his childhood sweetheart, Eulalie Imelda Lewars. Neither venture lasted a year, and Lewars returned to Jamaica to give birth to their daughter. McKay was forced to take a series of menial jobs. He was finally able to publish two poems, "Invocation" and "The Harlem Dancer," under a pseudonym in 1917. McKay's talent as a lyric poet earned him recognition, particularly from Frank Harris, editor of Pearson's magazine, and Max Eastman, editor of

Extractions: Village Community School, New York City I. Biography Claude McKay was born in 1890 on the island of Jamaica and came to the United States to attend college in 1881. He attended Tuskegee Institute which was a college for African American students founded by Booker T. Washington. After staying there for a only a few months, McKay left to study agriculture at Kansas State University. Claude McKay had an excellent education considering many people in the 1920's did not go to college. He wrote his first book of verse at the age of twenty. It was called Songs of Jamaica . It was his record of black life in Jamaica. He wrote it in dialect verse while living on his father's farm. Claude McKay came to Greenwich Village in 1917 and continued writing poetry. His first American work was published under the pseudonym Eli Edwards. In 1919 McKay became an editor of the newspaper "The Liberator." This was a journal publishing mainly white avant-garde writers and McKay was the first African American to hold this type of job. Claude McKay's book of poems Harlem Shadows is said to be the first major book of the Harlem Renaissance. The term Harlem Renaissance refers to the work of African American novelists and poets who lived in or described the Harlem district of New York City during the 1920's and early '30's. McKay is mainly remembered for his poetry and that, in addition to dialect verse, he wrote many formal rhyming poems as well.

Extractions: The Lynching Genre Poem Keywords African-American Experience Children Death and Dying Freedom ... Trauma Summary The title announces the event described in the poem: the lynching of a black man, already burned to a char by an angry mob. Opening lines emphasize ascendency of spirit, from the "swinging char" to the father in heaven in whose bosom the hanged man will dwell. The spiritual tone is replaced, however, by an account of the cruelties inflicted on this tortured man and the behavior of sorrowless women and children dancing around the "dreadful thing in fiendish glee." Commentary Class discussions of cultural differences, distinctions, and commonalities usually include an examination of the impact of historical events contributing to cultural shapes and expressions. McKay's poem recounts a grisly chapter of history to portray what can happen when groups are subordinated or marginalized. African-Americans continue to struggle for equality, especially in education and healthcare. While the lynched man is dead, a diseased or infected population remains to endanger the well-being of the fragile social fabric.
