The Word on the Streets: The American Language of Vernacular Modernism
Brooks E. Hefner
From the hard-boiled detective stories of Dashiell Hammett to the novels of Claude McKay, The Word on the Streets examines a group of writers whose experimentation with the vernacular argues for a rethinking of American modernism - one that cuts across traditional boundaries of class, race, and ethnicity.
