Response to Three Reviews of Darwin's Athletes

In: Social science quarterly, Band 79, Heft 4, S. 898-903

Abstract

A response to three reviews by Samuel L. Myers Jr., Rusell L. Curtis, Jr., & Lee Sigelman (all, 1998) of Hoberman's 1997 book, Darwin's Athletes: How Sport Has Damaged Black America and Preserved the Myth of Race. Anecdotal evidence is offered to support the claim that African Americans are overinvested in athletics to the neglect of intellectual accomplishment. J. Ferrari
