This research paper: A 4 page essay that discusses Chester Himes' mystery novel The Real Cool Killers, which was first published in 1959. It features the detective team of Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, two black policemen who bear the responsibility of policing the black community of Harlem. Additionally, Coffin Ed and Grave Digger interpret that community and its residents to the white policemen, which make up the majority of the New York Police Department (NYPD) in the late 1950s. The novel's black protagonists negotiate a fine line between the institutionalized prejudice of the white-controlled system and maintaining some degree of social order in the black community. Examination of the novel reveals the complex motivations that fuel their actions and their anger. No additional sources cited.
