Baad bitches and sassy supermamas Black power action films

Dunn Stephanie2008
Book
Subject: This study explores the sexualised, subordinate positioning of women in low budget blaxploitation action films as well as more seriously radical films like Sweet Sweetbacks Baadasssss Song and The Spook Who Sat By The Door, in which black women are typically portrayed as trifling "bitches" compared to the supermacho black male heroes.
