Shaft was a character that unashamedly was black, embracing black culture and attitudes of the times against the backdrop of an America trying to find an identity after the upheaval of the sixties, a decade that saw the civil rights movement, the assassination of John F Kennedy, and the last years of the Vietnam war.
