Claude McKay, Jamaican-American Author

Festus Claudius McKay (September 15, 1889 - May 22, 1948) was a Jamaican-American writer and poet, and a leading figure in the Harlem Renaissance. He wrote four novels, collections of poetry, a collection of short stories, two autobiographical books, and a non-fiction, socio-historical treatise entitled Harlem: Negro Metropolis (1940). His 1922 poetry collection, Harlem Shadows, was among the first books published during the Harlem Renaissance. He was attracted to communism in his early life, but he always asserted that he never became an official member of the Communist Party USA. He became an American citizen in 1940.
