"In her excellent new book, Amy Bass uses the famous 'black power'
podium salute by sprinters John Carlos and Tommie Smith as the
centerpiece of her expansive examination of the black athlete in
America." -Boston Globe
"Amy Bass's powerful and nuanced account of the Olympic Project
for Human Rights gives us the story behind this picture-a story
that will change our conception of the history of sport and racial
politics." -Robin D. G. Kelley
"Beautifully written, as well as appropriately complex and
wide-ranging. As much as sports might appear to be a straight-ahead
business, where the 'best' might be rightly rewarded, Bass deftly
reveals the difficulties of maintaining a sense of self, collective
consciousness, and political urgency." -Philadelphia City Paper
"Amy Bass sorts through the events and perceptions linked to
some of the biggest names and moments in sports history and
assesses their meaning beyond the playing field." -Bob Costas
Amy Bass is assistant professor of history at the College of New
Rochelle and is a member of the NBC research team covering the
Olympic Games including Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Salt Lake 2002,
and Athens 2004.
