At night, Banjo, Malty, Ginger, Dengel, Bugsy, Taloufa, Goosey, and even Jake of Home to Harlem prowl the rough waterfront bistros, drinking, looking for women, playing music, fighting, loving, and talking--about their homes in Sengal, the West Indies, or the American South; about Garvey's Back-to-Africa Movement; about being Black. When Ray, a writer, joins the group, it triggers his rediscovery of his African roots and his feeling that, at last, he belongs to a race, \"weighted, tested, and poised in the universal scheme.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claude McKay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0156106752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156106757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Claude McKay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051160662271,"sku":"9780156106757","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86dbaf6e-27ac-43f9-a82d-22351a626367.jpg?v=1685011449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/banjo-claude-mckay-9780156106757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
