A timely and significant examination of how Black athletes have
used their influence to create meaningful change and reform for
Black Americans. In the age of social media, athletes have a
powerful influence like never before. Many Black athletes have used
that power in positive ways, galvanizing their platforms to create
impactful educational opportunities, donate to Black social causes,
and raise political awareness on important issues. In The Black
Athlete Revolt: The Sport Justice Movement in the Age of
#BlackLivesMatter, Shaun M. Anderson examines the Black athlete's
rise in advocating for social justice and how today's athletes have
moved beyond protesting to create substantial change for Black
Americans. Anderson reflects on the history and evolution of Black
athlete activism, breaking down its importance during the civil
rights movement, the commodification of athletes during the 1990s,
and how twenty-first century athletes have utilized their wealth
and influence to create lasting societal change in the age of
#BlackLivesMatter. With fascinating portraits of notable
individuals in the history of Black activism, as well as insights
from athletes and allies who discuss the future of athlete
activism, The Black Athlete Revolt reveals the ever-evolving and
crucial role of Black athletes beyond the world of sports.
