Quite an interesting discussion of the role of race in sports, and the role of sports in race relations. The author challenges some of the conventional wisdom about racial integration in sports, and questions whether the association of black men with violent sports is actually doing as much good as is commonly believed.

DARWIN'S ATHLETES focuses on society's fixation with black athletic achievement. Hoberman argues that this obsession has come to play a troubling role in African American life and our country's race relations. Rich, flamboyant superstars lend credence to age-old prejudices, recycled "scientific" theories denigrating black intelligence, and stereotypes of black violence. This portrayal of black identity encourages a disdain for academic achievement already too widespread among black males. Darwin's Athletes is a powerful indictment of modern sport's racial spectacle.
