BLAXPLOITATION BOX OFFICE ?!?
Could anyone help?! I am looking for a source for box-office results of the blaxploitation films of the 70s etc. Is there a site for this or a reliable book or does anyone know anyone who knows??? Thanks!
shareyou should definitely check out these books, i'm sure you'll find some stuff about blaxploitation in there... used these for a thesis about the representation of african americans on hollywood screen and found a lot of stuff in these books:
Yearwood, Gladstone Lloyd (2000) Black Film as a Signifying Practice: Cinema, Narration and the African American Aesthetic Tradition. Trenton, NJ
Bogle, Donald (2003) Toms, Coon, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks: An Interpretive History Of Blacks In American Films. New York
Guerrero, Ed (1993) Framing Blackness: The African American Image in Film. Philadelphia
of course there are more... just do some research ;)
