Previous critics have documented the damaging effects of the
current exploitative sporting and education structures in the
United States on Black males and the broader Black community.
However, largely missing from scholarly literature and popular
discourses on this topic is a comprehensive analysis of the
heterogeneity among Black male athletes' lived experiences and
outcomes over their lifespans. From Exploitation Back to
Empowerment: Black Male Holistic (Under)Development Through Sport
and (Mis)Education by Joseph N. Cooper addresses three major
issues: (1) the under theorization of Black male athletes'
socialization processes, (2) the preponderance of deficit-based
theories on Black male athletes, and (3) the lack of expansive
analyses of Black male athletes from diverse backgrounds. Grounded
in empirical research, this text outlines five socialization models
of Black male holistic (under)development through sport and
(mis)education. The five socialization models include: (a) illusion
of singular success model (ISSM), (b) elite athlete lottery model
(EALM), (c) transition recovery model (TRM), (d) purposeful
participation for expansive personal growth model (P2EPGM), and (e)
holistic empowerment model (HEM). Using ecological, race-based,
gender-based, psychological, and athletic-based theories, each of
the proposed models incorporates critical sociological insights
whereby multi-level system factors (sub, chrono, macro, exo, meso,
and micro) along with various intersecting identities and
additional background characteristics are taken into account. In
addition, historical, sociocultural, political, and economic
conditions are examined in relation to their influence on Black
males' socialization in and through sport and (mis)education. This
nuanced analysis allows for the development of a systematic
blueprint for Black male athletes' holistic development and more
importantly collective racial and cultural uplift.
