Jake LaMotta, Muhammad Ali, Hector Camacho, Mike Tyson-the alumni of Gleason's are a roster of boxing greats. Founded in the Bronx in 1937, Gleason's moved in the mid-1980s to what has since become one of New York's wealthiest residential areas-Brooklyn's DUMBO. Gleason's has also transformed, opening its doors to new members, particularly women and white-collar men. \u003ci\u003eCome Out Swinging\u003c\/i\u003e is Lucia Trimbur's nuanced insider's account of a place that was once the domain of poor and working-class men of color but is now shared by rich and poor, male and female, black and white, and young and old. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCome Out Swinging\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the everyday world of the gym. Its diverse members train, fight, talk, and socialize together. We meet amateurs for whom boxing is a full-time, unpaid job. We get to know the trainers who act as their father figures and mentors. We are introduced to women who empower themselves physically and mentally. And we encounter the male urban professionals who pay handsomely to learn to box, and to access a form of masculinity missing from their office-bound lives. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eCome Out Swinging\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how Gleason's meets the needs of a variety of people who, despite their differences, are connected through discipline and sport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucia Trimbur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 069115029X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691150291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.43w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"Lucia Trimbur","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925616754943,"sku":"9780691150291","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_38bda5a3-9d53-4669-8f00-0ad2e75f1bd3.jpg?v=1681078330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/come-out-swinging-lucia-trimbur-9780691150291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
