As the companion volume to Black Baseball Entrepreneurs,1860-1901:
Operating by Any Means Necessary, Lomax's new book continues to
chronicle the history of black baseball in the United States. The
first volume traced the development of baseball from an exercise in
community building among African Americans in the pre-Civil War era
into a commercialized amusement and a rare and lucrative
opportunity for entrepreneurship within the black community. In
this book, Lomax takes a closer look at the marketing and promotion
of the Negro Leagues by black baseball magnates. He explores how
race influenced black baseball's institutional development and how
it shaped the business relationship with white clubs and managers.
Lomax explains how the decisions that black baseball magnates made
to insulate themselves from outside influences may have distorted
their perceptions and ultimately led to the Negro Leagues' demise.
The collapse of the Negro Leagues by 1931 was, Lomax argues, ""a
dream deferred in the overall African American pursuit for freedom
and self-determination.
