This insightful study offers a fresh perspective on the life and
career of champion boxer Joe Louis. The remarkable success and
global popularity of the "Brown Bomber" made him a lightning rod
for debate over the role and rights of African Americans in the
United States. Historian Marcy S. Sacks traces both Louis's career
and the criticism and commentary his fame elicited to reveal the
power of sports and popular culture in shaping American social
attitudes. Supported by key contemporary documents, Joe Louis:
Sports and Race in Twentieth-Century America is both a succinct
introduction to a larger-than-life figure and an essential case
study of the intersection of popular culture and race in the
mid-century United States.
