From Jackie Robinson to Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe, African American athletes have been at the center of modern culture, their on-the-field heroics admired and stratospheric earnings envied. But for all their money, fame, and achievement, says New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden, black athletes still find themselves on the periphery of true power in the multibillion-dollar industry their talent built.

Provocative and controversial, Rhoden’s $40 Million Slaves weaves a compelling narrative of black athletes in the United States, from the plantation to their beginnings in nineteenth-century boxing rings to the history-making accomplishments of notable figures such as Jesse Owens, Althea Gibson, and Willie Mays. Rhoden reveals that black athletes’ “evolution” has merely been a journey from literal plantations—where sports were introduced as diversions to quell revolutionary stirrings—to today’s figurative ones, in the form of collegiate and professional sports programs. He details the “conveyor belt” that brings kids from inner cities and small towns to big-time programs, where they’re cut off from their roots and exploited by team owners, sports agents, and the media. He also sets his sights on athletes like Michael Jordan, who he says have abdicated their responsibility to the community with an apathy that borders on treason.

The power black athletes have today is as limited as when masters forced their slaves to race and fight. The primary difference is, today’s shackles are often the athletes’ own making.

Fascinating Sociological Read

9 décembre 2018 - Publié sur Amazon.com

Achat vérifié

Sociology can be a very dry subject but told with sports as the backdrop, the metaphor is eye opening. I am not a sport fan but I did appreciate the deep examination of American history as experienced by a community. The evolution of the African American sports "hero" over the course of over a century. How while many things have changed, some things remain the same. I was particularly pleased with the how the book is structured. Each chapter builds on the previous linking behaviors and events. It was written nearly a decade ago but I cannot help but wonder if the author were to update it with current events in sports what conclusions he might draw.

I'm not really a sports fan, and I have never had any interest in sports history. But I have had this book recommended to me or seen it recommended so many times, I became intrigued and kept it on my "to read" list. Well, I finally read it and it floored me. I had no idea sports history could be so complex, so nuanced, and have such far-reaching implications into the broader society. Rhoden doesn't just make you think about sports and athletes in a different way; he makes you think about our society and our social history in a different way. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Author, William C. Rhoden, in his book, FORTY MILLION DOLLAR SLAVES, admonishes the black athlete for dropping the "sense of mission" that the black community entrusted with them. The black community sent its best athletes forth, to raise the status of the athelets and at the same time, raise the status and well being of their communities. They accomplished the first of this two-part dream----they raised their own status and fame. The second part of this contract---raising the status and well being of the black community---was not to happen. They were not ready for the white-backlash that wanted.(wants, still) ...nothing more than to wean itself from dependence on black muscle." But hope is not lost for the black athele, nor is it lost for the black community. The author sees signs of redemption for both. Until that day of redemption comes, though, black athletes will continue to enhance the very system that enslaves them.

Well Paid Slaves Are Still Slaves

2 décembre 2016 - Publié sur Amazon.com

Achat vérifié

I’d known of this book for some time and never got around to reading it until now and it was well worth the wait. William Rhoden’s writing style is very engaging which allows the reader to go through this book pretty fast. Rhoden is a man that clearly understands racism better than most and his critiquing of the plight of the Black male athlete has many dimensions to it. The love that although he is critical, his writing does not devolve into simply anti-Black ranting (like so many Black authors and so called race scholars). He devoted a chapter to Michael Jordan and gives a pretty good summation of what Michael Jordan has meant to sports, Black people and white people. Rhoden acknowledges that Jordan always avoided taking a stand for his people, but also acknowledges a personal experience he had speaking with Jordan, where Jordan seemed to be aware of how careful a Black male has to be with his image in the white media. Rhoden does not call Jordan names, but doesn’t let him off the hook either. Most of the book is devoted to Black athletes and entrepreneurs the general public knows very little about like Tom Molineaux, Rube Foster and many others. This book is incredibly informative and expertly details the mistakes Black people continuously make in the athletic arena under white control. I recommend this book to all Black people. You will not regret it. All sports fields that Black people dominate are nothing but plantations with powerless slaves making money for rich white men. The slaves might make more money that they did in the past, but their numbers are small and the masses of Black people still suffer in a society of vast economic inequality across racial lines. The athletes that prosper under white institutions are nothing but FORTY MILLION DOLLAR SLAVES.

Great book! Very well written and easy to follow. All black athletes of all ages should read this book to understand the need for black leadership in sports. The book isnt just about the plight of the black athlete but gives suggestions on how to improve the situation. Power.
