"Hosanna! Darius James has done it again. As if his fabulous
"Negrophobia "has not already set everyone hopping and agog, James
has now given us the extraordinary, unique, provocative, and
hilarious "That's Blaxploitation! "A must-read for every decent
person in this great land, this U.S. of A." --Terry Southern
"This is no typical genre study. This is Darius James (a.k.a. Dr.
Snakeskin) at his acerbic, opinionated, voodoo best. While "That's
Blaxploitation! "includes tons of fascinating information on the
movies of this 'genre' (often as marginalia), the heart of this
book is in the very particular insights and attitude of its author.
Whether expressing his annoyance with "Shaft, "his admiration for
"Sweetback, "or revealing his mythic origins as 'The Wolfman of
Winchester Avenue', Darius James has written a book that in itself
defies categorizations, while drawing a sniperlike bead on a truly
wild-ass phase of American culture." --Jim Jarmusch
"This funky, funny, fact-filled tome is a delight for both serious
and casual fan of blaxploitation. Darius James's fevered mind
delivers a steady stream of highly opinionated yang. Sue to be the
pride of your coffee table." --Reginald Hudlin, director of "House
Party, Boomerang, " and" The Great Whyte Hype, "and co-executive
producer of" HBO's Cosmic Slop"
