Samenvatting

What accounts for the persistence of the figure of the black criminal in popular culture created by African Americans? This title explores the rationale behind this tradition of criminal self-representation from the Harlem Renaissance to the gangsta culture. It traces the legacy of badness in Rudolph Fisher and Chester Himes' detective fiction.
