Reclaiming 42

Public Memory and the Reframing of Jackie Robinson's Radical Legacy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Illuminates how public memory of Jackie Robinson has undergone changes over the last sixty-plus years and moves his story beyond Robinson the baseball player, opening a new, broader interpretation of an otherwise seemingly convenient narrative to show how Robinson's legacy ultimately should both challenge and inspire public memory.
