{"product_id":"african-american-icons-of-sport-matthew-whitaker-9780313340284","title":"African American Icons of Sport: Triumph, Courage, and Excellence","description":"This title offers an examination of African Americans in sports, from a variety of perspectives and through a lively range of rhetoric styles, and illuminates the history of highly successful and influential individuals, athletes and teams who have transcended mere celebrity to come to represent a given Zeitgeist to a sizable part of the world. It also explores the history and lives of complex, multi-layered personages and groups. Finally, it examines the extent to which modern mass media and popular culture have contributed greatly to the rise, and sometimes fall, of the these powerful symbols of athletic, individual, and group excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Whitaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313340285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313340284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.21h x 7.25w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 100","brand":"Matthew Whitaker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086481010943,"sku":"9780313340284","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b66ca385-d72a-4d3e-964d-21851a19af18.jpg?v=1769094914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-american-icons-of-sport-matthew-whitaker-9780313340284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
