DESCRIPTION:
Howard is an avid film and popular music fan. Following graduation from New York University, he spent two years as Photo Researcher at Parade magazine.
Includes: film posters and ads. 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. This is the primary reference book on the genre, covering not just the films' heyday (1971-1976) but the entire decade (1970-1980). Here's a new and appreciative look back at a distinctly American motion picture phenomenon, the first truly comprehensive examination of the genre, its films, its trends and its far-reaching impact, covering more than 240 Blaxploitation films in detail. Dazzling, highly stylised, excessively violent and brimming with sex, blaxploitation films enjoyed a brief but memorable moment in motion picture history

Had no idea there were so many different films produced during the blaxploitation era! The still photos from the films and the poster art along with the text was a great balance. I especially enjoy reading the taglines of
