The Revolt of the Black Athlete hit sport and society like an Ali
combination. This Fiftieth Anniversary edition of Harry Edwards's
classic of activist scholarship arrives even as a new generation
engages with the issues he explored. Edwards's new introduction and
afterword revisit the revolts by athletes like Muhammad Ali, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos. At the same time, he
engages with the struggles of a present still rife with racism,
double-standards, and economic injustice. Again relating the
rebellion of black athletes to a larger spirit of revolt among
black citizens, Edwards moves his story forward to our era of
protests, boycotts, and the dramatic politicization of athletes by
Black Lives Matter. Incisive yet ultimately hopeful, The Revolt of
the Black Athlete is the still-essential study of the conflicts at
the interface of sport, race, and society.
