Darwin's athletes (1997)
how sport has damaged black America and preserved the myth of race
‘Darwin’s Athletes’ zeroes in on our society’s fixation on black athletic achievement. John Hoberman compellingly argues that this obsession – one shared by both blacks ans whites in the media, in corporate America, and even by athletes themselves – has come to play a disastrous role in African-American life and a troubling role in our country’s race relations. ‘Darwin’s Athletes’ makes a strong case that our century’s scientific search for the racial basis of athletic performance has been incorporated into an older racial folklore – one that has been appropriated by conservative, race-oriented authors such as Charles Murray, Dinesh D’Souza, and J. Philippe Rushton.
