Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras : A History of Blaxploitation Cinema
A definitive account of Blaxploitation cinema—the freewheeling, often shameless, and wildly influential genre—from a distinctive voice in film history and criticism In 1971, two films grabbed the movie business, shook it up, and launched a genre that would help define the decade.Melvin Van Peebles’s Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, an independently produced film about a male prostitute who beats up cops and gets away, and Gordon Parks’s Shaft, a studio-financed film with a killer soundtrack, were huge hits, making millions of dollars.Sweetback upended cultural expectations by having its Black rebel win in the end, and Shaft saved MGM from bankruptcy.Not for the last time did Hollywood discover that Black people went to movies too.The Blaxploitation era was born. Written by film critic Odie Henderson, Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras is a spirited history of a genre and the movies that he grew up watching, which he loves without irony (but with plenty of self-awareness and humor).Blaxploitation was a major trend, but it was never simple.The films mixed self-empowerment with exploitation, base stereotypes with essential representation that spoke to the lives and fantasies of Black viewers.The time is right for a reappraisal, understanding these films in the context of the time, and exploring their lasting influence.

Black Art : A Cultural History
The African diaspora – a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade and Western colonialism – has generated a wide array of artistic achievements, from blues and reggae, to the paintings of the pioneering African American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner and video creations of contemporary hip-hop artists.This book concentrates on how these works, often created during times of major social upheaval and transformation, use black culture both as a subject and as context.From musings on “the souls of black folk” in late nineteenth-century art, to questions of racial and cultural identities in performance, media, and computer-assisted arts in the twenty-first century, this book examines the philosophical and social forces that have shaped a black presence in modern and contemporary visual culture. Now updated, this new edition helps us understand better how the first two decades of the twenty-first century have been a transformative moment in which previous assumptions about race, difference, and identity have been irrevocably altered, with art providing a useful lens through which to think about these compelling issues. With 218 illustrations in colour
