"Buried in the archive for almost ninety years, Claude McKay's Romance in Marseille traces the adventures of a rowdy troupe of dockworkers, prostitutes, and political organizers--collectively straight and queer, disabled and able-bodied, African, European, Caribbean, and American. Set largely in the culture-blending Vieux Port of Marseille at the height of the Jazz Age, the novel takes flight along with Lafala, an acutely disabled but abruptly wealthy West African sailor"--

With its scenes of black bodies seeking pleasure and fighting for freedom even when stolen, shipped, and sold for parts,Romance in Marseilleexplores the heritage of slavery amid a predatory modern economy.
