A Jamaican-born author of poetry, short stories, novels, and nonfiction, McKay has often been associated with the "New Negro" or Harlem Renaissance, a movement of African American art, culture, and intellectualism between World War I and the Great Depression. But his relationship to the movement was complex. Literally absent from Harlem during that period, he devoted most of his time to traveling through Europe, Russia, and Africa during the 1920's and 1930's.MELA (Multi-ethnic Literatures of the Americas)McKay, ClaudeAuthors, AmericanIntellectual life20th centuryBiographyAuthors, Jamaican20th centuryBiographyJamaican AmericansBiographyAfrican American authorsBiographyJamaican AmericansElectronic books.McKay, Claude.Authors, AmericanIntellectual lifeAuthors, JamaicanJamaican AmericansAfrican American authorsJamaican Americans813.52818/.5209 BMcKay Claude1890-19481000104Jarrett Gene Andrew1038867AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910452158703321A Long Way from Home2460713UNINA
