  African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives. The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was a great period of flowering in literature and the arts, influenced both by writers who came North in the Great Migration and those who were immigrants from Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.

Written in seven cantos, it tells the tale, in quintains, of a gentleman called Tibbets and his experience conversing with a phantom. This amusing "epic" takes us through their initial fear of each other, a fierce debate over the goings-on of the supernatural world, and finally, to a touching mutual admiration.

  Festus Claudius McKay was born in Sunny Ville, Jamaica on the 15th September 1890, He was the youngest son to parents who had gathered enough assets to secure them the right to vote. 
   
  As a boy he was fascinated by English Poetry and literature, although at 17 he took on work as an apprentice woodcutter for two years before becoming a police constable in the capital, Kingston.  In this mainly white and affluent town racism was rife and its nature awakened his political instincts and pursuit of social justice.  He soon returned home and published his first two poetry collections in 1912. 
   
  By the early 1920’s he had travelled extensively across the United States and parts of Europe and was recognised as a very talented poet and an essential founding component of the Harlem Renaissance.   
   
  As well as poetry he also wrote several novels and was a dedicated activist for social reform.  
   
  By the late 1930s he had developed a deep interest in Catholicism and several years later moved to Chicago as a teacher for a Catholic organisation. 
   
  By the mid 1940’s several illnesses has further debilitated his health. 
   
  Claude McKay died of heart failure on the 22nd May 1948.  He was 57.
