Festus Claudius "Claude" McKay OJ (18901948) was a Jamaican-born American poet and writer famous for his central role in the Harlem Renaissance. After travelling to America to attend college, he came across W. E. B. Du Boiss "The Souls of Black Folk", which inspired in him an interest in politics. In 1914 he moved to New York City and five years later wrote his most famous work, "If We Must Die", a sonnet dealing with the spate of white-on-black race riots and lynchings that succeeded the First World War. McKays political and literary endeavours eventually took him to Russia, where he collaborated on "The Negroes of America" (1923) and "Trial by Lynching" (1925), which explored American black-white racism from a Marxist class-conflict perspective. After coming to terms with the Authoritarianism of the Soviet Union, McKay left for Western Europe in 1923. Highly recommended for those interested in American history and global politics during the twentieth century. Contents include: "De Route March", "Flat-Foot Drill", "Bennies Departure", "Consolation", "Fire Practice", "Second-Class Constable Alston", "Last Words of the Dying Recruit", "Bound Fe Duty", etc. Ragged Hand is proudly republishing this collection of classic poetry, complete with an introductory excerpt by the author.</p>...654733Constab Ballads7979https://www.gandhi.com.mx/constab-ballads/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1351283/ea65f718-baf6-43d0-a50b-262b218d41ec.jpg?v=638821615376600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229781528793070_W3siaWQiOiJiYzU1MjQ0OC1lNGQxLTQ4OWItYjUxNi1iYTNkMjlhZmQxZWEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjc5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo3OSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDUtMDRUMTk6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMTAwLTAxLTAyVDA0OjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9781528793070_<p>First published in 1912, Constab Ballads is a classic poetry collection with the main focus based on the police force of McKays time, including his famous poem If We Must Die.
