Muhammad Ali was not only a champion athlete, but a cultural icon.
While his skill as a boxer made him famous, his strong personality
and his identity as a black man in a country in the midst of the
struggle for civil rights made him an enduring symbol. From his
youth in segregated Louisville, Kentucky, to his victory in the
1960 Olympics, to the controversy that surrounded his conversion to
Islam and refusal of the draft during the Vietnam War, Ali's life
was closely linked to the major social and political struggles of
the 1960s and 70s. The story of his struggles, failures, and
triumphs sheds light on issues of race, class, religion, dissent,
and the role of sports in American society that affected all
Americans. In this lively, concise biography, Barbara L. Tischler
introduces students to Ali's life in social and political context,
and explores his enduring significance as a symbol of resistance.
Muhammad Ali: A Many of Many Voices offers the perfect introduction
to this extraordinary American and his times.
