The article focuses on writer Claude McKay. He has lived in many countries. He has watched life with eyes that are curious and appraising, and felt it with the tentacles of his sensitive perceptions. Wherever he has gone he has taken with him his sense of race difference and has tried to analyze its effects on him and his friends, white and black, and on the culture and ways of life around him. But at the same time, while he has scrutinized and weighed and discriminated, he has also lived. Because his interest is intense and his intelligence alert it might be Claude McKay's privilege to answer the doubts aroused by these assumptions.
