The collections eponymous poem, "Harlem Shadows," portrays the struggle of sex workers in 1920s Harlem. In "If We Must Die," McKay calls for justice and retribution for Black people in the face of racist abuse.Juxtaposing the cacophony of New York City with the serene beauty of Jamaica, McKay urges us to reckon with the oppression that plagues a "long-suffering race," who he argues has no home in a white mans world. Poems of Blackness, queerness, desire, performance, and love are infused with a radical message of resistance in this sonorous cry for universal human rights. Simultaneously a love letter to the spirit of New York City and an indictment of its harsh cruelty, Harlem Shadows is a stunningcollection that remains all too relevant one hundred years after its original publication.
