Book Synopsis
Asserting that race has been the cornerstone of most of Quentin Tarantino's films, this book uncovers the racial politics, progressive and regressive, hidden on the QT in the director's work from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to Inglourious Basterds a

Trade Review
Nama’s book traces the racial topicality of Tarantino’s films to his fascination with the subversive and racially empowering features of Blaxploitation cinema. It confronts the racial frankness in Tarantino’s films rather than the man himself, examining what they say about race in America with a critical dynamism and a clarity of perspective that makes enjoyable and provocative reading. * Times Literary Supplement *
