"Cooper paints a meticulous and absorbing portrait of McKay's restless artistic, intellectual, and political odyssey... The definitive biography on McKay."--Choice

Although recognized today as one of the genuine pioneers of black literature in this century--the author of "If We Must Die," Home to Harlem, Banana Bottom, and A Long Way from Home, among other works--Claude McKay (1890-1948) died penniless and almost forgotten in a Chicago hospital. In this masterly study, Wayne Cooper presents a fascinating, detailed account of McKay's complex, chaotic, and frequently contradictory life.

In his poetry and fiction, as well as in his political and social commentaries, McKay searched for a solid foundation for a valid black identity among the working-class cultures of the West Indies and the United States. He was an undeniably important predecessor to such younger writers of the Harlem Renaissance as Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen, and also to influential West Indian and African writers such as C. L. R. James and Aim C saire. Knowledge of his life adds important dimensions to our understanding of American radicalism, the expatriates of the 1920s, and American literature.

"Mr. Cooper's most original contribution is his careful and perceptive analysis of McKay's nonfiction writing, especially his social and political commentary, which often contained 'prophetic statements' on a range of important social, political, and historical issues."--New York Times Book Review

Perfect For Those Upgrading From Manual Cleansing
Whether you just need to replace your old electric systems or you are moving on up to the electric age, this is a good set to go with. Also makes for a nice gift. You get both a sonic toothbrush and an oral flosser. Once you take that step, you'll never go back. So much more thorough cleansing all around. The toothbrush is nice and powerful at 40,000 VPM. That's pretty powerful and gives you a much deeper cleansing. Personally, I wouldn't go any lower than that unless you have really sensitive gums. Of course, you can adjust intensities with this, so you'll be fine either way. The oral flosser is good and will get what your toothbrush misses. That's not a reflection on this particular toothbrush, but on toothbrushes of any kind as a whole. Does a great job at removing all sorts of stuff lodged between your teeth. Easy to use and you won't have a water line getting in your way. I would highly suggest that you pour a little bit of mouthwash in with your flosser for an even more effective cleansing. You get several replacement heads for your toothbrush and several different tips for the flosser. Enough that you'll have a very clean mouth for a good, long time.

My old one broke and for some reason I couldn’t log onto their website to order a pair, so I’m glad I found these here! They fit perfectly!
