I suppose you already know important writers such as: Donald Goines Iceberg Slim and of course Chester Himes I should suggest that you check in the publications of the Black radical US movements of the sixties and early seventies as well , to find more traces about their writers. I cannot give you accurate references as my own material about it is not with me. Interesting chapter of US HB/crime fiction! Often forgotten or overlooked. Keep us posted about your work.
