Journal Article
Writing from the Margins of the Margins: Michael Gold’s Jews Without Money and Claude McKay’s Home to Harlem
2010
Overview
Whereas Harlem is construed as a positive all-black space whose very \"blackness\" seems to have a certain radical potential to counter dominant white society and engender political renewal, the \"Jewishness\" of the Lower East Side is depicted as unable to mobilize such radical potential. Because they dramatize the different ways countercultural sections within the African American and Jewish American communities were attempting to self-fashion, create alternative norms, and inscribe themselves as oppositional subjects in the US landscape, these texts can be read as revealing something about the markedly dissimilar positionality of these two minority groups during the Jazz Age.
