Books by Abraham Iqbal Khan

Examines the public discourse surrounding Curt Flood (1938-1997), the star center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals throughout the sixties. Khan examines the ways in which the media constructed Flood's persona. By examining the mainstream press, the black press, and primary sources, Khan exposes the complexities of what it means to be a prominent black American athlete - in 1969 and today.
