{"product_id":"collective-chaos-samantha-tucker-9780804012423","title":"Collective Chaos: A Roller Derby Team Memoir","description":"\u003cb\u003eA view into the continuing evolution of the niche-yet-global sport through the historical lens of Ohio Roller Derby, one of the founding leagues of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association\u003c\/b\u003e Part sports autobiography, part cultural critique, this book offers the collective experience of a tenacious group of nontraditional athletes who play, officiate, plan, schedule, market, and manage the business of a (mostly) women's amateur sports team. This modern sport, with its alternative, punk rock culture, is often a place for those who've struggled within the mainstream. But even as the sport is often home for historically marginalized groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community, roller derby organizations and participants often mirror and experience the same inequities as those in the world surrounding them. In a full-contact, theatrical sport that some consider revolutionary, the authors show that gaining truly radical self-knowledge is an ongoing, difficult process that requires love, teamwork, discipline, critical consideration of one's local and global societies, and--above all else--one's place and action within them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samantha Tucker, Amy Spears\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804012423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804012423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swallow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.47d","brand":"Samantha Tucker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070126059775,"sku":"9780804012423","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c77a5fa-9ac8-4f1a-9514-529807be40ae.jpg?v=1685428507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collective-chaos-samantha-tucker-9780804012423","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
