Inhaltsangabe

With all that has been said andwritten about the way African Americans have altered the landscape in sports,it has still only scratched the surface. The true, lasting effect of thediscrimination they have faced is finally unveiled by a man who is not inbaseball's Hall of Fame, but who has played with, coached, scouted andrepresented athletes of all colors at every level of the national pastime formore than half a century.Dr. Miles McAfee sheds light notonly on the generations of whites that have kept the power structure tothemselves, but on the generations of African Americans (and blacks, Negroes,back to the days when they were called colored) who have absorbed the prejudicesof the majority and turned it upon themselves. African Americans have long hadopportunities to work collectively toward increasing their power in an industrythey dominate -yet their own self-hatred and distrust has held them back justas much as racism from others. More than amemoir, a sports biography, a self-empowerment volume or aconsciousness-raiser, Dr. McAfee's story blend them all in a cautionarytale about the ingrained behavior of two races that can, and must, change.
