Section Info: Topic: Blaxploitation Films - This course will consider some of the best-known instances of what are called "Blaxploitation" films, a group of wildly popular U.S. films of the 1970's, generally produced and directed by white men, that targeted urban African-American audiences. By looking at exemplary selections of this group of films and reading pertinent theoretical essays, the class will examine the narrative premises, gender constructions, and visual and musical strategies of Blaxploitation, assessing the films' historical significance as well as their explorations of a social identity that both violates and confirms traditional American Values.
