Download or read book Playing America s Game written by Adrian Burgos and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-06-04 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although largely ignored by historians of both baseball in general and the Negro leagues in particular, Latinos have been a significant presence in organized baseball from the beginning. In this benchmark study on Latinos and professional baseball from the 1880s to the present, Adrian Burgos tells a compelling story of the men who negotiated the color line at every turn—passing as "Spanish" in the major leagues or seeking respect and acceptance in the Negro leagues. Burgos draws on archival materials from the U.S., Cuba, and Puerto Rico, as well as Spanish- and English-language publications and interviews with Negro league and major league players. He demonstrates how the manipulation of racial distinctions that allowed management to recruit and sign Latino players provided a template for Brooklyn Dodgers’ general manager Branch Rickey when he initiated the dismantling of the color line by signing Jackie Robinson in 1947. Burgos's extensive examination of Latino participation before and after Robinson's debut documents the ways in which inclusion did not signify equality and shows how notions of racialized difference have persisted for darker-skinned Latinos like Orestes ("Minnie") Miñoso, Roberto Clemente, and Sammy Sosa.

Download or read book The Brilliant History of Color in Art written by Victoria Finlay and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of art is inseparable from the history of color. And what a fascinating story they tell together: one that brims with an all-star cast of characters, eye-opening details, and unexpected detours through the annals of human civilization and scientific discovery. Enter critically acclaimed writer and popular journalist Victoria Finlay, who here takes readers across the globe and over the centuries on an unforgettable tour through the brilliant history of color in art. Written for newcomers to the subject and aspiring young artists alike, Finlay’s quest to uncover the origins and science of color will beguile readers of all ages with its warm and conversational style. Her rich narrative is illustrated in full color throughout with 166 major works of art—most from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Readers of this book will revel in a treasure trove of fun-filled facts and anecdotes. Were it not for Cleopatra, for instance, purple might not have become the royal color of the Western world. Without Napoleon, the black graphite pencil might never have found its way into the hands of Cézanne. Without mango-eating cows, the sunsets of Turner might have lost their shimmering glow. And were it not for the pigment cobalt blue, the halls of museums worldwide might still be filled with forged Vermeers. Red ocher, green earth, Indian yellow, lead white—no pigment from the artist’s broad and diverse palette escapes Finlay’s shrewd eye in this breathtaking exploration.
Download or read book The Color of Play written by Nneka Howell and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two second-graders share a special friendship and a superpower that they use together to make the world a better place-for all kids. A heartfelt new picture book combines delightful storytelling with an important message of diversity, acceptance, and friendship, a perfect offering in today's landscape. Jacob is a second-grader who loves his new family. His biological mom and dad went away when they couldn't take care of him anymore. He's the new kid at school and sometimes mean classmates call him a "stray dog," but his new best friend Jacob tells him it's cool that he's adopted. Author Nneka J. Howell explores the many differences in families, cultures, and friendships in her debut picture book, The Color of Play. Jacob and Andrew may not look alike, but together they share a special superpower: they can camouflage. That means to blend in. They camouflage together a lot. And they have each other's backs. That means they stick up for each other. But when a fifth-grader brings a toy water gun to school and invites Jacob to play with it, Andrew stays away. When his friend doesn't want to play with him anymore, Jacob is confused. And he worries that they will no longer be able to use their superpowers together to make the world a better place by scaring away fears and all the bad things. Now Jacob will have to do it all by himself, and he's sad. Andrew explains that playing with toy guns isn't safe for a boy who looks like him. He could get into big trouble. When Jacob's parents find out, he is worried that he has disappointed them and there's no way to camouflage his way out of this one. But instead, they explain to him why his decision was reckless, especially for his friend Andrew. "My parents told me that there are some very mean and selfish people in the world. Sometimes people don't like other people just because they are different. Some people don't like other people because of their skin color. Some people hate others because they think they are better and more powerful. They also told me that it's not cool for anyone to hate another person that they don't even know. My dad tells me all the time that loving people for who they are is important." Nneka J. Howell masterfully weaves an important story for all children and families that acknowledges realistic cultural differences and challenges the concept of color blindness in terms of race, while communicating that love and acceptance wins. She hopes that her storybook provokes healthy conversations in homes, classrooms, and libraries to bridge the divisive gap that exists in today's landscape regarding racial and cultural awareness. The Color of Play is her fourth published book and her debut children's book in a planned four-book series.
