Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras: A History of Blaxploitation Cinema by Odie Henderson
informative
reflective
5.0
This was a great in-depth look at Blaxploitation cinema. It orients us to the film industry for black creatives prior to blaxploitation films, how they came to be, the full history of the blaxploitation era, and then the fall of it. It was well researched, easy to follow and I think you could enjoy it even if you've never seen or heard of a blaxploitation film before. I purchased the hardcover myself and then received a free audiobook from the publisher via Netgalley. It is read by the author and he does a great job.
I definitely recommend this one if you have any interest in the subject and want to learn more.
