Beyond the White Shadow combines the disciplines of history and
philosophy to examine sports and its influence on American
history.As professors of philosophy, the authors bring a unique and
fresh critical approach to the study of sport. With this work, they
have created a new and complex paradigm which combines both the
philosophy of history and the philosophy of sport. Beyond
the White Shadow's Marxist analysis will fundamentally reveal the
material and historical basis for the dialectics of racial sport
conflict, at both amateur and professional levels, and its
hierarchy of exploitation based on white power and
authority. Beyond the White Shadow features:  A
Marxist analysis of history. Marxism clarifies the political
economy of sport and its capitalistic social relations, which
commodify all athletes but Black athletes in particular.Â
"Footnotes" – achievements/figures that were lost to history
because of Jim Crow exclusion on the field of play and field of
"selected history."Â An entire chapter addressing the triple
burden of sexism, racism and class exploitation, which is gender
history and revisionism at its best. Uses the television
show "The White Shadow" to examine how pop culture misappropriated
the field sociology of sport. The late 1970s series uses the
sociological cultural deprivation model and applies it to the
sociology of sport via a pop culture television series.Â
Thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter promote
lively discussions and assignment opportunities. Extensive
chapter-by-chapter references and a listing of influential
African-American Sports Films.
