Books by Donald Spivey

This stimulating anthology provides a scholarly perspective on the history of sport. Race relations and racism in sport, the interaction of sports and politics, sexism and the role of women in sports, and the role that the profit motive plays in sports are among the topics covered.

Explores the legacy of one of the most exceptional athletes ever - an entertainer extraordinaire, a daring showman and crowd-pleaser, a wizard with a baseball whose artistry and antics on the mound brought fans out in the thousands to ballparks across the country: Leroy 'Satchel' Paige, arguably one of the world's greatest pitchers.
