Beschreibung

Riveting and inspiring first-person stories of how âtaking a kneeâ? triggered a political awakening among athletes of all ages and levels, from the celebrated sportswriter âWith profiles of courage that leap of the page, Zirin uncovers a whole national movement of citizen-athletes fighting for racial justice.â? â¿Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Awardâ¿winning author of Stamped from the BeginningHailed by Publishers Weekly in a starred review as âan enthralling look at the impact of peaceful protest by sports figures at the high school, college, and professional levels,â? The Kaepernick Effect explores the story of how quarterback Colin Kaepernickâ¿s simple act of âtaking a kneeâ? spread like wildfire throughout American society, becoming the preeminent public symbol of resistance to Americaâ¿s persistent racial inequality. In this powerful book, critically acclaimed sports journalist and author Dave Zirin chronicles âthe Kaepernick effectâ? for the first time, through âa riveting collection of first-person storiesâ? (The Nation) from high school athletes and coaches, college stars and high-powered athletic directors, and professional athletes across many different sportsâ¿from Megan Rapinoe to Michael Bennett. In each case, he uncovers the fascinating explanations and motivations behind what became a mass political movement in sports. âNecessary reading for all, especially those who want to make a difference in promoting social justice, equity, and inclusion, and end police brutalityâ? (Library Journal, starred review), The Kaepernick Effect is for anyone seeking to get involved in the new movement for racial justice in America: âTake a knee, everyone, and start a revolutionâ? (Kirkus Reviews).
