In his day, Jack JohnsonOCoborn in Texas, the son of former
slavesOCowas the most famous black man on the planet. As the first
African American World Heavyweight Champion (1908OCo1915), he
publicly challenged white supremacy at home and abroad, enjoying
the same audacious lifestyle of conspicuous consumption, masculine
bravado, and interracial love wherever he traveled. "Jack Johnson,
Rebel Sojourner" provides the first in-depth exploration of
JohnsonOCOs battles against the color line in places as far-flung
as Sydney, London, Cape Town, Paris, Havana, and Mexico City. In
relating this dramatic story, Theresa Runstedtler constructs a
global history of race, gender, and empire in the early twentieth
century.
