Download or read book Integrating the Gridiron written by Lane Demas and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even the most casual sports fans celebrate the achievements of professional athletes, among them Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Joe Louis. Yet before and after these heroes staked a claim for African Americans in professional sports, dozens of college athletes asserted their own civil rights on the amateur playing field, and continue to do so today. Integrating the Gridiron, the first book devoted to exploring the racial politics of college athletics, examines the history of African Americans on predominantly white college football teams from the nineteenth century through today. Lane Demas compares the acceptance and treatment of black student athletes by presenting compelling stories of those who integrated teams nationwide, and illuminates race relations in a number of regions, including the South, Midwest, West Coast, and Northeast. Focused case studies examine the University of California, Los Angeles in the late 1930s; integrated football in the Midwest and the 1951 Johnny Bright incident; the southern response to black players and the 1955 integration of the Sugar Bowl; and black protest in college football and the 1969 University of Wyoming "Black 14." Each of these issues drew national media attention and transcended the world of sports, revealing how fans--and non-fans--used college football to shape their understanding of the larger civil rights movement.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this study examines the roles of race, place, and economics in the American South. The study will focus on a three-tiered idea that has been used throughout the history of the American South; the financier, the manager, and the producer. Each role is discussed as it was during the plantation days and how it continues to be used today in the American South. The study focuses on Coffee County, Georgia and the plight of a famous hometown athlete as he journeys through adolescence, middle and high school, college, and adult life. The study takes into account factors such as, the history of race relations, history of sports, history of place, and how this history affects black males in the American South. The study also takes into account the role of the rich white men as the power broker throughout the history of the American South and how the financier (white men) continue to wield their power to maintain control. The financier wields their power in many ways, but in the American South the football plantation is king. The study is conducted through a series of interviews with stakeholders in the community, newspaper articles, and a review of literature over both the history of the American South as well as a history of this athlete’s time in high school and at the University of Georgia.
