## HARLEM SHADOWS

BY
CLAUDE MCKAY

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY
MAX EASTMAN

"These poems have a special interest for all the races of man because they are sung by a pure blooded Negro. Here for the first time we find our literature vividly enriched by a voice from this most alien race among us. And it should be illuminating to observe that while these poems are characteristic of that race as we most admire it—they are gentle—simple, candid, brave and friendly, quick of laughter and of tears—yet they are still more characteristic of what is deep and universal in mankind."—From the Introduction.
