George, Nelson Elevating the Game: Black Men and Basketball
HarperCollins 1992 0060167238 / 9780060167233 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 261 pages. Illustrated with photos. Very-light page tanning. Tight spine. - From The Critics KLIATT Everything a basketball fan would want to know finds its way, in some fashion, into this work. Basketball history, statistics, trivia, biography, its social impact, even civil rights implications are tackled in ten chapters. George writes in an easily read style—facts are mixed with anecdotes, and street slang and sports lingo intertwine with academic theory. In 1891, the game was created as a way to keep the all-white student body of a Massachusetts prep school occupied in the cold winter months. George starts here, then relates how it became a segregated sport, then slowly developed into one of the most visible forums for exhibiting African American athletic ability. The huge role the game plays in African American society is presented though discussions of the game as a showcase for black talent, a font of advertising wealth, an integral part of society with its street lingo and fashion, and a source of personalities and icons. Within the historical narrative, the reader gets a chance to meet many players, coaches, managers, owners and even sports journalists who contributed to the game. Attention is given to all levels of basketball: professional, college, high school, and the casual street match. This is not straight sports what the game means in historic, psychological, social, and racial/ethnic contexts is explored. George tells a fascinating and rich story. The eye-catching cover art will grab browsers; anyone remotely interested in basketball will be sold with a quick flip through. Students doing projects for gym, black studies, or even social studies will find this book useful.
