Claude McKay's first novel, Home to Harlem, was published in 1928 during the height of the Harlem Renaissance. McKay portrays Harlem post-WWI, through Jake, an African American longshoreman who deserts the U.S. army and returns to his home in Harlem, and Ray, a Haitian intellectual expatriate.
While it lacks the fame of something like Their Eyes Were Watching God, Home to Harlem is a vital chronicle of the lives of low status blacks in the cultural Mecca of 1920s Harlem. McKay's protagonist, Jake, is, in some ways, the ideal representation of the common man of Harlem.
