US Ausgabe, englischsprachig.
Josiah Howard: Dazzling, highly stylized, excessively violent and brimming with sex, blaxploitation films enjoyed a brief but memorable period in motion picture history. Never before - and never since - have so many African American performers been featured in films, not in bit parts, but in name-above-the-title starring roles.
Half a century after they first thrilled audiences the body of films known as blaxploitation continue to captivate film fans. The entire genre, with its bevy of colourful, utterly-contemporary film characters, irresistible soundtrack albums and catchy film titles, is taking its rightful place among the entertainment industry's most enjoyed, and influential, movies.
Answering the call for a fresh and appreciative look back at a distinctly American motion picture phenomenon, Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide is the only truly comprehensive examination of the genre, its films, its trends and its far-reaching impact, covering every blaxploitation film in detail.
Following three Sold-Out hardcover pressings, Josiah Howard's renowned study of African American action cinema is finally re-issued in paperback.
- A comprehensive introduction to the genre.
