Darwin's Athletes
How Sport Has Damaged Black America and Preserved the Myth of Race
JOHN HOBERMAN
Sinopsis
DARWINS ATHLETES focuses on societys fixation with black athletic achievement. Hoberman argues that this obsession has come to play a troubling role in African American life and our countrys race relations. Rich, flamboyant superstars lend credence to age-old prejudices, recycled "scientific" theories denigrating black intelligence, and stereotypes of black violence. This portrayal of black identity encourages a disdain for academic achievement already too widespread among black males. Darwins Athletes is a powerful indictment of modern sports racial spectacle.
