Melvin Van Peebless Sweet Sweetbacks Baadasssss Song, An Independently Produced Film About A Male Sex Worker Who Beats Up Cops And Gets Away, And Gordon Parkss Shaft, A Studiofinanced 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 Selfawareness And Humor).

The Films Mixed Selfempowerment 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.
