Reconstructing Fame: Sport, Race, and Evolving Reputations
David C Ogden
The essayists in this volume write about twentieth-century athletes whose careers were affected by racism and whose post-career reputations have improved as society's understanding of race changed. Contributors attempt to clarify the stories of these sports stars and their places as twentieth-century icons by analysing the various myths that surround them.
