Contextualising and documenting the cheap, government-funded 'B-Scheme' films, largely unseen since the fall of the National Party, but also acknowledging the impact of international co-productions such as \u003cem\u003eThe Wild Geese\u003c\/em\u003e (1978) and locally made provocation, including the classic \u003cem\u003eMapantsula\u003c\/em\u003e (1988), this study is an exhaustive tour of race-representation and state-subsidised subversion. Also discussing the political turbulence of the era, Images of Apartheid argues that so-called 'ZAxploitation' should be considered within both localised and wider international paracinematic networks of genre adaptation, resulting in the identification of a uniquely South African form of trash and treasure, and schlock and awe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calum Waddell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474450024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474450027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023","brand":"Calum Waddell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045523615999,"sku":"9781474450027","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e95c94ba-5ee0-44f5-983d-a3b640a7bc1d.jpg?v=1684979264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/images-of-apartheid-calum-waddell-9781474450027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
