But 'heritage cinema' is all too often discussed from literary (not cinematic) perspectives, and criticism of the films has long been overshadowed by the question of a film's fidelity to the original text. This volume of essays, reviews, and interviews seeks to redress this imbalance, by examining the often antagonistic relationship between literature and film - presenting both sides of the argument about whether heritage cinema's elaborate aesthetics owe more to nostalgia than to historical accuracy. In her challenging introduction to the volume, Ginette Vincendeau sketches the terms of the debate, arguing that the genre is an important, but often critically neglected, form of popular cinema. Film/Literature/Heritage, the latest in a series of 'Sight and Sound Readers', embraces a wide range of literary adaptation, from William Shakespeare to William Burroughs, covering films from Orlando to LA Confidential, and directors from Martin Scorcese to Peter Greenaway." - BOOK BLURBISBN: 0851708420; 0851708412(pbk.) : ¦13.99LON: 22285912

journal article
Recontextualizing the historical reception of Blaxploitation : articulations of class, black nationalism, and anxiety in the genre's advertisements in Velvet Light trap (2002) vol.50 p.48-61

The heterogeneous identity at play within blaxploitation's black spectators is examined. Class becomes important to studying blaxploitation and its audience not because it demarcates a subgenre that diverged in interest from other films concerned with violence and ultrasexuality but because class - specifically the way in functions in blaxploitation advertisements - can help reconceptualize the blackness of blaxploitation and its spectators in more dynamic ways. The genre is situated in a complex historical moment where three relatively autonomous influences on black identity operated simultaneously.
