BLACK CAESARS AND FOXY CLEOPATRAS by Odie HendersonRead about another entry on the list.
The chief film critic for the Boston Globe charts the history of Blaxploitation cinema and the genre’s widespread and enduring influence. Working year by year in the peak era, from 1970 (with the hit, Cotton Comes to Harlem) to 1977, Henderson breaks down its elements and origins (looking at the “race movies” of the 1920s, for example), as well as the stars, unforgettable soundtracks and talents behind the lens.
