What is the author's style in If He Hollers Let Him Go: A Novel by Chester Himes?

The novel is narrated from the first person subjective point of view; that is, from the perspective of its central character, the protagonist, Robert Jones. On a purely technical level, the apparent intention of this point of view is to place the reader firmly within the experience of this particular black man, in his frustrating, pervasive encounters with the racist attitudes and behaviors that he fervently believes define his life both internally and externally.
