Banjo (Black Classics) Book
A comic-tragic fictional assault on the `niggeratti` and blackrespectability.As controversial as it is entertaining, Claude McKay`s BANJO caused an outcry amongst the black middle classes when it was first published in the 1940s. For McKay is the black master of satire, and this time the joke was on them. Seen through the eyes of a group of hard-drinking, loud-singing, fist-fighting black sailors stranded in Marseille waiting for their ship to come in, BANJO is a hilarious look at how people change as they climb up the social ladder. The book finds the black petty bourgeois trying to run as far away from their roots as possible, trampling over their hard-working poorer `brothers and sisters` in the process.Read More
