Description
In this autobiography, Claude McKay chronicles his long odyssey from Jamaica to Harlem, Europe, North Africa, Russia, and back to America, meeting some of the most militant writers to emerge from the New Negro movement following World War I.

From the intellectual circles of Harlem and Greenwich Village tot he docks of Marseilles to the inner circles of post-revolutionary Russia, McKay's contact with such figures as Frank Harris, Max Eastman, George Bernard Shaw, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, Charlie Chaplin, H. G. Wells, Sinclair Lewis, Leon Trotsky, and Karl Radek served to advance views that would be widely accepted in the 1960s: Black Pride, self-determination, and the necessity for Black culture to define itself.
