Baseball Rebels The Players, People, and Social Movements That Shook Up the Game and Changed America【電子書籍】[ Peter Dreier ]
＜p＞In ＜em＞Baseball Rebels＜/em＞ Peter Dreier and Robert Elias examine the key social challengesーracism, sexism and homophobiaーthat shaped society and worked their way into baseball’s culture, economics, and politics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since baseball emerged in the mid-1800s to become America’s pastime, the nation’s battles over race, gender, and sexuality have been reflected on the playing field, in the executive suites, in the press box, and in the community. Some of baseball’s rebels are widely recognized, but most of them are either little known or known primarily for their baseball achievementsーnot their political views and activism. Everyone knows the story of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball’s color line, but less known is Sam Nahem, who opposed the racial divide in the U.S. military and organized an integrated military team that won a championship in 1945. Or Toni Stone, the first of three women who played for the Indianapolis Clowns in the previously all-male Negro Leagues. Or Dave Pallone, MLB’s first gay umpire. Many players, owners, reporters, and other activists challenged both the baseball establishment and society’s status quo.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Baseball Rebels＜/em＞ tells stories of baseball’s reformers and radicals who were influenced by, and in turn influenced, America’s broader political and social protest movements, making the gameーand societyーbetter along the way.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
