Dazzling, highly stylised, excessively violent and brimming with sex, blaxploitation films enjoyed a brief but memorable moment 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 starring roles. 25 years after they first thrilled audiences blaxploitation films are enjoying a renaissance. Blaxploitation Cinema is the first truly comprehensive examination of the genre, its films, its trends and its far reaching impact, covering more than 240 films in detail.
