- Summary:
- This book discusses the role that sport participation plays in the lives of black male high school students. As a former professional athlete himself, the author brings a first-hand personal quality to this study. As an educator he strives to counteract the problems associated with students who place sports participation ahead of academic achievement. Christopher M. Spence also encourages educators to fight against inequality and racism in mainstream education and for all of us to fight injustices in society.
