Book Description
Finally, a fun and serious book about the 1970's genre commonly
called blaxploitation. The book is strong on color and
photos of film posters and it is a delight to see this material
reproduced so well, but as great as the eye candy is, this is no
"fluff" book. Interviews inlcude such greats as Pam "Coffy"
Grier, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, Melvin "Sweetback" Van
Peebles, William "Blacula" Marshall and more! A great treat for
fans of this genre.
