Review
" ... as a text which reaches towards a new way of thinking about race and ethnicity in contemporary America, and as a manifesto for further work, Hathaway's book deserves a warm welcome."--Review of English Studies, Vo. 52, No. 208, 2001
Book Description
This study investigates the lives and writings of two of the most prominent African Caribbean immigrant authors in the United States, Claude McKay (1890-1948) and Paule Marshall (b. 1929). Although both writers traditionally have been studied within the realm of African American literature, their works are significantly shaped by their backgrounds as Caribbean immigrants.
