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.
