Description
The genre that came to be known as Blaxploitation exploded into mainstream American cinema in the early 1970s: by the middle of the decade, it had all but ceased to exist. This book explores the factors behind the genre's meteoric rise (and equally dramatic decline), as well as its implications for the cinematic portrayal of African-American society, Black Power and the Civil Rights Movement more generally.
