Beyond the Ring the Role of Boxing in American Society
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Illinois Pr
- Publish date: 09/01/1990
Description:
''Carefully documents the ruin waiting for almost all those ill-advised enough to become professional boxers. He confirms all the legends, of crime, of swindling, of the miserable economic rewards allotted to the vast majority of fighters . . . the traditional racism of the American ring. . . . No one, reading Sammons, can doubt that it is evil.''-- Times Literary Supplement ''Insightful, enjoyable, and stimulating. . . . Should be read by anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the role that boxing has played in shaping American attitudes and values.''-- Journal of Southern History ''A well-presented, appealing narrative that merits comparison with Joyce Carol Oates's less-detailed On Boxing.''-- Library Journal
