Inhaltsangabe

  • Expands on Black history, history of race in Canada (troubles the idea that Canada is more benevolent and that there was no racism or segregation here, which many people believe)
  • For sports historians and sport sociologists
  • Accessible for the general reader interested in baseball history
  • Chatham Coloured All-Stars to be recognized by Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 2022
  • Another book on this team will be published in May 2023 but is for general reader and only follows their championship year. (Tentative title 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars’ Barrier-Breaking Year) – not our book
