Fully updated to include Baadassss and The Hebrew Hammer
and to cover the deaths of Isaac Hayes and Rudy Rae Moore In the early
1970s a type of film emerged that featured all-black casts; really cool
soul, R 'n' B, and disco soundtracks; characters sporting big guns, big
dashikis, and even bigger 'fros; and had some of the meanest, baddest
attitudes to shoot their way across the screen. An antidote to the
sanitized "safe" images of blackness that Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby
presented to America, these films depicted a reality about the world
which African-American audiences could identify with, even if the
stories themselves were pure fantasy. This guide reviews and discusses
more than 60 Blaxploitation films, considering them from the
perspectives of class and racial rebellion, genre, and Stickin' it to
the Man. Subgenres covered include Blaxploitation horror films, kung-fu
movies, westerns, and parodies.
