Great read. I'm twenty-eight years of age, and this book will help me clarify the ideology of sports to my two African Amercian sons from an African American perspective.

Thank you Mr. Rhoden! Great reading for everyone & a must as an eye opener if you've just been going along with what you hear in the mass media. I'll recommend to coaches & athletes!

The authors prospective on the history and sociology of the black experience in sport is eye opening to say the least. I will never look at sports the same. This book should be a required reading for all athletes and their families.
