Home to Harlem

By Claude McKay

From a key voice of the Harlem Renaissance, Claude McKay's classic novel about the vibrant but perilous world of Jazz Age Harlem, freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line.

Back in Harlem after fleeing the horrors of World War I, Jake has left his past behind--only to find himself drawn into the city's seductive Jazz Age underworld. He navigates the bustling nightclubs and treacherous streets, discovering a society caught between dazzling artistic expression and unrelenting struggle, all while desperately searching for the one person he hopes can truly bring him home.

Originally published in 1928, Home to Harlem is a raw, fearless exploration of identity, race, and class in the midst of the bourgeoning Harlem Renaissance from a "uniquely timeless" writer (Los Angeles Review of Books).
