Telling far more than a story about sports that includes engaging tales of star athletes like \"Satchel\" Paige and \"Cool Papa\" Bell, \u003ci\u003eNegro Leagues Baseball\u003c\/i\u003e documents an essential chapter of American history rooted in the fight for civil rights and human dignity and the battle against racism and bigotry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book comprises an introduction, chronology, and narrative chapters, as well as biographical profiles, primary documents, a glossary, a bibliography, and an index. The recounting of individual stories and historical events will fascinate general readers, while rarely used documentary material places the subject of Negro League baseball in relation to civil rights issues, making the book invaluable to students of American social history and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruns, Roger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313386480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Roger Bruns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32972930711627,"sku":"9780313386480","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_1b3a0033-8df4-4992-9781-5ac52b1c50bf.jpg?v=1606343149","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/negro-leagues-baseball-9780313386480","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
