English term or phrase: blaxploitation
Definition from Cambridge Dictionary:
A combination of the terms "black" and "exploitation"; refers to a style of American film, usually cheaply made and not considered to have a high artistic value, that was popular in the 1970s, involved Black actors, and was intended to attract Black audiences.

Example sentence(s):
  • Though Blaxploitation has always had its critics, the era still represents one of the most sustained periods of cinema featuring black themes and black performers of any in film history. The Guardian
  • Notable snubs included Eddie Murphy for blaxploitation biopic "Dolemite Is My Name," Jennifer Lopez for "Hustlers," Awkwafina for "The Farewell" and Lupita Nyong'o for "Us." The Jakarta Post
  • Luke Cage first appeared in Marvel’s pages in 1972, at the height of the Blaxploitation craze. He was the first African American superhero to headline his own Marvel comic, initially titled Luke Cage, Hero for Hire but soon changed to the technically-accurate-yet-groan-inducing Luke Cage, Power Man, and he’s now the first black Marvel hero to headline his own screen entertainment since the Blade franchise.

Cine de explotación negra


Definition from Fundación Audiovisual Pública Andaluza:
Bajo la denominación de cine de explotación negra o “blaxploitation” se encuadran más de un centenar de películas norteamericanas rodadas entre 1970 y 1979, protagonizadas por actores de color y destinadas al público de la comunidad afroamericana, aunque también fueron vistas por audiencias más amplias.

Example sentence(s):
  • Con sus autos rápidos, pieles y fedoras, los héroes del "blaxploitation", el movimiento de cine de explotación negra de la década de 1970, vuelven a la gran pantalla en medio de una tendencia nostálgica de Hollywood de volver al pasado. - France 24  
  • Lo que comenzó siendo un subgénero, de connotaciones peyorativas, ha acabado por convertirse, en una etiqueta de cine de culto. Ese es el irónico destino de la blaxploitation, o cine de explotación negra, una corriente cinematográfica surgida en la década de los 70, destinada a la comunidad negra de los Estados Unidos y protagonizada por directores y actores afroamericanos a la que el periodista Lucas Soler ha dedicado un libro. - El País  
  • Cuando le preguntaron sobre la falta de diversidad en su elenco, Burton dijo a Bustle que "las cosas requieren cosas o no las requieren". Después explicó: "Crecí viendo películas de blaxploitation. Y decía 'genial', no que 'debe haber más gente blanca en esas películas'''. El blaxploitation, o cine de explotación negra, fue un movimiento cinematográfico en la década de los 70 que tuvo a la comunidad afroamericana como protagonista principal. - Chicago Tribune
