Born in a Mighty Bad Land: The Violent Man in African American Folklore and Fiction
Jerry H. Bryant
The figure of the violent man in the African American imagination has a long history. He can be found in 19th-century bad man ballads like "Stagolee" and "John Hardy," as well as in the black convict recitations that influenced "gangsta" rap. This title connects this figure with similar characters in African American fiction.
