Constab Ballads is a collection of poems written by the Jamaican poet, Claude McKay. The book features a series of ballads that explore the experiences of black police officers in the United States during the early 20th century. Through his poetry, McKay offers a unique perspective on the complexities of race, identity, and power in America. The poems are written in a variety of styles, from traditional ballads to free verse, and are accompanied by illustrations by the artist Aaron Douglas. The book was first published in 1912 and is considered a landmark work in African American literature. It remains a powerful testament to the struggles and achievements of black Americans during this period of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
