Claude McKays most well-known Harlem Renaissance novel now in Penguin Classics
A Penguin Classic
Claude McKays first novel,?Home to Harlem, was published in 1928 during the height of the Harlem Renaissance. McKay portrays Harlem post-WWI through two Black migrants to New York: Jake, a Southern-born African American longshoreman who deserts the U.Sarmy and returns to his home in Harlem; and Ray, an educated Haitian immigrant. With his innovative use of Black dialects, McKay portrays a complex world of Black people, both native-born and immigrant, who navigate a dynamic society in the midst of radical change. Harlem is portrayed as a cauldron of Black life where Black people experience both White racism and intra-Black prejudice as well as sexual freedom and pleasure, all through the prism of Harlems jazz nightlife.?Home to Harlem sparked controversy among Black critics.
W.E.B. Du Bois considered it reductive and stereotypical while Marcus Garvey accused McKay of pandering to racist white tastes for degrading depictions of Blacks. Other critics such as Langston Hughes embraced Home to Harlem for its frank depictions of modern Black working class life and its meditation on enduring social inequalities.
This debate within the Harlems intellectual community, combined with the curiosity of white readers to learn more about this modern Black space, drove?Home to Harlem to become the first commercial bestseller by a Black novelist in the United States.
