La curiosité et le désir de cerner les spécificités d'un genre que les Afro-Américains se sont approprié à l'aube du 20e siècle, telles sont les intentions de recherche animant le présent volume. Beaucoup lu par tous les publics (Chester Himes connut d'abord le succès en France), le polar afro-américain reste relativement peu étudié en dépit d'une production très abondante et diverse depuis les années soixante. Diverse parce qu'elle a essaimé hors de la côte Est, et parce que les romancières sont venues l'enrichir. Le vécu racial, comme nous le disent BarbaraNeely, Paula Woods et Gar Haywood est au cœur de ce genre populaire : la mémoire noire, les lieux noirs et les environnements humains qui construisent l'être - d'où une incursion en Caraïbe francophone. Curiosity and the desire to grasp the specificity of an abundantly read African American genre born as the 20th century was beginning are the research intentions that inspire this volume. Indeed, only recently has African-American detective fiction drawn the attention of scholars in spite of its very diverse blossoming since the 1960s. Diverse, because it has moved out of its birth place, East coast cities, and because female novelists have contributed their own production. At the heart of this popular genre, as novelists BarbaraNeely, Paula Woods and Gar Haywood tell us, is black existence: black memory, black living places and the human environments that build the individual - hence a détour to the French Caribbean.

As well as discussing the detective fiction of writers like Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler, it considers other kinds of fiction where crime plays a substantial part, such as the thriller and spy fiction. It also includes chapters on the treatment of crime in eighteenth-century literature, French and Victorian fiction, women and black detectives, crime on film and TV, police fiction and postmodernist uses of the detective form. The collection, by an international team of established specialists, offers students invaluable reference material including a chronology and guides to further reading.
