Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...the first mature work focused on the cultural politics of intercollegiate athletics. In one fell swoop it takes the study of college sport onto an elevated plain." -- David L. Andrews, The University of Memphis

"Crisp, accessible, and free of jargon...it is hard to put down. The authors show how racist images and practices are embedded in the cultures of higher education, stitched into the cultures of specific campuses, and take on forms that interact with surrounding racial representations, racial groups, practices, and histories." -- Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"An important contribution to understanding the dynamic of race as it plays out in intercollegiate athletics and higher education. Extremely interesting." -- Ellen J. Staurowsky, coauthor of College Athletes for Hire: The Evolution and Legacy of the NCAA's Amateur Myth

Reseña del editor:

Anthropologists King (Drake U.) and Springwood (Illinois Wesleyan U) argue that collegiate revenue-producing sports are created as a spectacle in which the races have pre-determined roles. They explain that while Native American are seen largely as empty or distorted images and African Americans are seen as both shining starts and troubled delinquents, white Americans serve as spectators, coaches, administrators, journalists, and athletes, remaining unmarked as racial subjects.
