Blaxploitation or blacksploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s. The films, though receiving backlash for stereotypical characters all the while, were one of the first instances in which black characters and communities were the heroes and subjects of film and television, rather than being portrayed as sidekicks or as victims of brutality.

CONT

Les films de la blaxploitation ont donné une voix influente aux afro-américains à Hollywood mais ont également pu être décriés comme glorifiant la criminalité et représentant une vision blanche de l'Amérique noire plutôt qu'un reflet réaliste, d'autant que peu des réalisateurs de ces œuvres étaient noirs.
