This collection of essays shows that for many African Americans it was the world of athletics that first opened an avenue to equality and democratic involvement." "Race and Sport showcases African Americans as key figures making football, baseball, basketball, and boxing internationally popular, though inequalities still exist today." "Although each of these essays explores a different facet of sports in America, together they comprise an analytical examination of African American society's tumultuous struggle for full participation both on and off the athletic field."--Jacket.
