In this rich and rewarding biography, Claude McKay, the Jamaica-born poet and novelist, remembers the Harlem Renaissance, the labour movement in Britain, meetings with Radek and Trotsky in post-revolutionary Russia and a formative trip to Africa. Throughout the book McKay voices a militant black consciousness that shocked the polite society of the day. Today?s reader will warm to this early expression of ?black is beautiful.?
