One of the foremost Black writers and intellectuals of his era, Claude McKay (1889-1948) was a central figure in Caribbean literature, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Black radical tradition. McKay's life and writing were defined by his class consciousness and anticolonialism, shaped by his experiences growing up in colonial Jamaica as well as his early career as a writer in Harlem and then London. Dedicated to confronting both racism and capitalist exploitation, he was a critical observer of the Black condition throughout the African diaspora and became a committed Bolshevik.

Civil War Blockade Running on the Texas Coast

Civil War Blockade Running on the Texas Coast
Andrew W. Hall, "Civil War Blockade Running on the Texas Coast"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1626195005, 1540224732 | ASIN: B00XRSH4GK | EPUB | pages: 144 | 1.7 mb
In the last months of the American Civil War, the upper Texas coast became a hive of blockade running. Though Texas was often considered an isolated backwater in the conflict, the Union's pervasive and systematic seizure of Southern ports left Galveston as one of the only strongholds of foreign imports in the anemic supply chain to embattled Confederate forces. Long, fast steamships ran in and out of the city's port almost every week, bound to and from Cuba. Join author Andrew W. Hall as he explores the story of Texas's Civil War blockade runners-a story of daring, of desperation and, in many cases, of patriotism turning coat to profiteering.
