[edit]Moved this text from article - probably refers to hardboiled literature rather than street literature in the sense of this article? Man vyi (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- In the United States, street literature has its beginnings in such writers as Chester Himes and Eldridge Cleaver, two of the original street literature writers and has a completely different view. It is more of an urban view, written as a type of "pulp fiction". Chester Himes began writing in prison in the early 1900s.
