A People's History of Sports in the United States

by C

We here at Red Emma's have been eagerly waiting for the release of Dave Zirins' third book on sports and radicalism, A People's History of Sports in the United States . Dave, our favorite sports writer gives us the often untold histories of those athletes, fans, and sports writers that pushed the other boundaries of politics, sexism, racism, homophobia and class. Dave examines sports not only as entertainment or as a way to make a buck, but as a playing field that challenges social barriers within the United States.

 Dave Zirin will also be appearing at the Radical Book Tent Pavillion at this years Baltimore Book Festival.
