Court of Gold (2025)
Big Game, Small World. That's what sportswriter Alexander Wolff titled his 2002 book about his global tour in search of hoops enlightenment. Wolff found basketball infiltrating cultures far beyond the United States. In the intervening decades, the game has gotten bigger, and the world has gotten smaller. Where once the US strode across the basketball universe like a colossus, now the game flourishes at a high level on every continent besides Anta…
Hunter S. Thompson
On a winter's night in 1968, in a yellow sedan barreling down a dark New Hampshire highway, Richard M. Nixon talked football with Hunter S. Thompson. Nixon would soon win the state's Republican primary—an important kickoff for his deliberate, disciplined campaign. Thompson was an unlikely choice for an intimate audience with the buttoned-down candidate. The outlaw writer in shabby jeans, a chronicler of hippies and Hell's Angels, cast Nixon as a …

House of Cards
Landon Carter, a wealthy planter in the Tidewater of Virginia during the eighteenth century, kept a diary that possesses great value for scholars of sport history. His writings showcase a wide emotional range, including white-hot rage and bubbling pathos. In his diary, Carter often decried the leisure habits of others, especially his son Robert Wormeley Carter, who constantly gambled on horses and cards. For Landon, if leisure was allowed to run …
Dixieball
When Jimmy Carter ran for governor in 1970, his campaign circulated a flyer of his opponent, Carl Sanders, getting doused with champagne by tall, seminaked black men. As part owner of the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (Nba), Sanders was indulging in an old winning ritual. But that flyer was posted in churches and gas stations all around Georgia—as well as at Ku Klux Klan rallies. For the rural white conservative voters that…
An Unseen Light
In An Unseen Light , eminent and rising scholars offer a multidisciplinary examination of Memphis’s role in African American history during the twentieth century. The city was at the epicenter of the civil rights movement on April 4, 1968, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel. But the essays in this book broaden the scholarly understanding of the black freedom struggle in Memphis. In chronicling the significant e…
L.A. Rebellion
From the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) trained a pioneer generation of black filmmakers. Influenced by a wide set of models in global cinema, they experimented with and challenged Hollywood convention, both on-screen and behind the camera. They did not share a single aesthetic vision, but, as a whole, sought a vision of black authenticity, exploring themes and lives that revealed the worlds of …
Malcolm McLaughlin. The Long, Hot Summer of 1967
The summer of 1967 marked the crest of the urban crisis in the U.S. Some type of violent race-related outbreak occurred in 159 cities, including a number of minor disturbances, as well as larger incidents. In July, a riot broke out in Newark, New Jersey, that led to twenty-six deaths, hundreds of injuries, and ten million dollars in property damage. One week later, Detroit, Michigan, erupted in a riot that resulted in the deaths of forty-three mo…
