Darwin's Athletes: How Sport Has Damaged Black America and Preserved the Myth of Race – An Indictment of Athletic Stereotypes and Academic Disdain Among Black Males
Darwin's Athletes: How Sport Has Damaged Black America and Preserved the Myth of Race – An Indictment of Athletic Stereotypes and Academic Disdain Among Black Males
DARWIN'S ATHLETES focuses on society's fixation with black athletic achievement. Hoberman argues that this obsession has come to play a troubling role in African American life and our country's 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. Darwin's Athletes is a powerful indictment of modern sport's racial spectacle.
