À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Moses Fleetwood Walker was the first black American to play baseball in a major league. He achieved college baseball stardom at Oberlin College in the 1880s. Teammates as well as opponents harassed him; Cap Anson, the Chicago White Stockings star, is blamed for driving Walker and the few other blacks in the major leagues out of the game, but he could not have done so alone. A gifted athlete, inventor, civil rights activist, author, and entrepreneur, Walker lived precariously along America's racial fault lines. He died in 1924, thwarted in ambition and talent and frustrated by both the American dream and the national pastime.

Reviews
"Zang''s book is about more than baseball. He effectively places Walker's multifaceted life in the context of the racial climate of the late nineteenth century."-Journal of American History, "A mesmerizing tale, reminding us-if we need to be reminded-of the blasted hopes and lives that have been and are being produced by the inequitable and indefensible way some Americans treat people who are raciallydifferent."-Nation, "A mesmerizing tale, reminding us-if we need to be reminded-of the blasted hopes and lives that have been and are being produced by the inequitable and indefensible way some Americans treat people who are raciallydifferent."- Nation, "Zang has done truly excellent work to rescue his subject from a shadowy past and to illuminate him as an ''imperishable human presence'' trapped in a heartbreaking era."-Sporting News, "Zang's book is about more than baseball.

The book provides a good snapshot of life in post-Civil War America, a time when the American psyche began to encompass the idea of the newly-emancipated slave as an equal."-John Brattain,HaroldSeymour.com, "A Dramatic Portrait That Reflects the Nation's Turn-Of-The-Century Racial Milieu."- Library Journal, " Fleet Walker's Divided Heart isn't as much about the first black player in major-league baseball history as it is the account of a complicated man who happened to have played baseball and who tried to find his place in a complicated world.

I purchased a book from this seller. I noticed he did not update the shipping. I reached out multiple times with zero communication. It's been a month and it's still not updated and did not receive my item. I will have to open a claim. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Item was not shipped. After a few weeks, I contacted the seller to inquire. No response. Asked them for refund. No response. Noticed other people leaving similar feedback. Eventually contacted eBay for refund & it was granted.
