Almost over the past two decades McKay's Home to Harlem has been in a negative critical light. Since as early as in 1928 W. E. B. Du Bois severely criticized the novel, later critics and literary scholars have maintained the modest assessment of McKay's overall literary achievement. Recently, however, McKay's scholarship is resurging, thanks to such scholars as Gary E. Holcomb, Elisa Glick, and Michael Maiwald. Yet even in this recent upbeat of McKay's scholarship still few scholars have noted the point that McKay's view of primitivism is indispensable to understand Home to Harlem. Since the Harlem Renaissance era is overlapped with whites' fascination with the primitive, it is only reasonable to think that McKay's interpretation of the primitive becomes a powerful force and defining factor of Home to Harlem. In this paper I will read McKay's notion of "a plausible Negro tale" in the context of modernist cultural discourses of the primitive and look into whether his characterization of black men and women is effective enough to disrupt the cultural logic behind the decent, educated New Negro propaganda of elite Harlem intelligentsia. Specifically, I will examine the cultural politics in the definition of the primitive in Western culture and locate McKay's notion of primitivism in the context of both whites' and blacks' responses to the primitive. Then, re-viewing McKay in the context of modernist writers of the lost generation, I will examine how he characterizes his main characters Ray and Jake, each representing a lost New Negro and a healthy New Primitive. Finally, I will look into McKay's tilted descriptions of black women and explain what price he has to pay for romanticizing a black male hero's individuation.
