초록
Claude McKay(1890-1948) has often been thought of as an immediate forerunner and one of the key members of the Harlem Renaissance. Yet we should be careful not to put too much emphasis on the position and role of McKay as a Renaissance writer because such an approach is likely to overlook the complexity and multiplicity of his life and literary world. More than anything else, his life and literary works in Jamaica was closely related with the historical context at that time. If judging his short but significant career as a colonial constable based on poems collected in Constab Ballads, it was one of turning points in his life which gave him a chance to face realities of racial discrimination of Jamaican society in person and recognize how black people were divided and ruled by the British Colonialism. Such an experience and awakening was a stepping board on which he could grow his black consciousness and black solidarity. In that sense, Constab Ballads can be said a bridge between a Jamaican peasant poet and a black diaspora poet in Mckay’s literary career.
Abstract
Claude McKay(1890-1948) has often been thought of as an immediate forerunner and one of the key members of the Harlem Renaissance.

More than anything else, his life and literary works in Jamaica was closely related with the historical context at that time. If judging his short but significant career as a colonial constable based on poems collected in Constab Ballads, it was one of turning points in his life which gave him a chance to face realities of racial discrimination of Jamaican society in person and recognize how black people were divided and ruled by the British Colonialism. Such an experience and awakening was a stepping board on which he could grow his black consciousness and black solidarity.
