Description

This book is an examination of cultural resistance to segregation in the world of black baseball. Through an analysis of editorial art, folktales, nicknames, ""manhood"" and the art of clowning, African Americans worked to dismantle Jim Crow through the creation of a cultural counter-narrative that centred on baseball and the Negro Leagues, that celebrated black achievement and that highlighted the contradictions and fallacies of white supremacy in the first half of the twentieth century.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
