The book examines McKay’s career as a British colonial subject writer as well as his analytical writings about the problem of identity, vocations as well as politics of the black man in an extremely racist
Western civilization for the first half of the 20th century. The book also provides insights on how his life in exile influenced his ideological evolutions and writing.

Harlem Renaissance. University Press of Florida, 2007.
This book written by Holcomb will be great significance in my research as it explores how McKay’s writings can be used to interpret politics of literary texts.
The author examines three of the most fundamental works by McKay writing careers; Home to Harlem, Romance in Marseille and A Long Way from Home. By doing so, Holcomb uncovers how McKay contributed to black modern studies by exploring queen black Marxism in details.
As such, the book will of great help to me as it explores the twentieth- century transatlantic modernist author as well as his literary works; poetry and prose. The book is also be important to me as it gives a good history and historiography of an author who helped to articulate challenges of the blacks.
