Reviews
"Waddell examines South African (or B-scheme films), i.e., the country's iteration of Hollywood blaxploitation. ZAxploitation cinema was surreptitiously tainted by the apartheid ideological undertones because it was supported by the National Party regime, which provided financial underwriting in the background. These low-budget exploitation films reimagined Black lives in a modernized (rural and urbanized) context. Waddell's book is in conversation with Ken Harrow's Trash: African Cinema from Below (2013) and Tomaselli's Encountering Modernity: Twentieth Century South African Cinema (2006). Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty." -K. M. Kapanga
