Baseball and Social Class - Essays on the Democratic Game That Isn't (Paperback)

This collection of fresh essays seeks to examine the intersection
of baseball and social class, pointing to the conclusion that
America's game, infused from its origins with a democratic mythos
and founded on high-minded principles of meritocracy, is
nonetheless fraught with problematic class contradictions. Each
essayist has explored how class standing has influenced some aspect
of the game as experienced by those who play it, those who watch
it, those who write about it, and those who market it. The topic of
class is an amorphous one and in tying it to baseball the
contributors have considered matters of race, education, locality,
integration, assimilation, and cultural standing. These elements
are crucial to understanding how baseball creates, preserves,
reinforces and occasionally assails class divisions among those who
watch, play, and own the game.
