Claude McKay, Code Name Sasha : Queer Black Marxism And The Harlem Renaissance

Attribution
Gary Edward Holcomb
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Florida, 2007
Links
Description
[Among the most notable contributions to black modernist study, Holcomb's scholarship is the first to assess the consequence of McKay's landmark Romance in Marseille, a text that is, despite its absence from broad public access for nearly 80 years, conceivably the most significant early black diaspora text.] Finally, he examines McKay’s extensive FBI file and his late-1930s autobiography, A Long Way from Home, in which McKay disguises his past as a means of eluding his harassers.

Jump Jim Crow : Lost Plays, Lyrics, And Street Prose Of The First Atlantic Popular Culture

Attribution
W.T. Lhamon, Jr
Publication Details
Book, Harvard University Press, 2003
Description
Jump Jim Crow brings together for the first time the plays and songs performed in this guise and reveals how these texts code the complex use and abuse of blackness that has characterized American culture ever since Jim Crow’s first appearance. His reading shows us how these plays built a public blackness, but also how they engaged a disaffected white audience, who found in Jim Crow’s sass and wit and madcap dancing an expression of rebellion and resistance against the oppression and confinement suffered by ordinary people of all colors in antebellum America and early Victorian England.

C.L.R. James And Creolization : Circles Of Influence

Attribution
Nicole King
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Mississippi, 2001
Description
However, the majority of academic attention given to James keeps the diverse mediums of James’s writing separate, focuses on his work as a political theorist, and subordinates his role as a fiction writer. Defining creolization as a process by which European, African, Amerindian, Asian, and American cultures are amalgamated to form new hybrid identities and cultures, Nicole King uses this process as a means to understanding James’s work and life.
