Darwin's athletes
how sport has damaged black America and preserved the myth of race
Hoberman, J. (1997). Darwin's athletes: how sport has damaged black America and preserved the myth of race. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company.
'Darwin's Athletes' zeroes in on our society's fixation on black athletic achievement. John Hoberman compellingly argues that this obsession - one shared by both blacks ans whites in the media, in corporate America, and even by athletes themselves - has come to play a disastrous role in African-American life and a troubling role in our country's race relations. 'Darwin's Athletes' makes a strong case that our century's scientific search for the racial basis of athletic performance has been incorporated into an older racial folklore - one that has been appropriated by conservative, race-oriented authors such as Charles Murray, Dinesh D'Souza, and J. Philippe Rushton.
