Book Description:

What is it about basketball that makes it "the black man's game"? And what about pickup basketball in particular: can it tell us something about the state of blackness in America? Reflecting on these questions, Rafik Mohamed presents pickup games as a text of the political, social, and economic struggles of African American men. In the process, he tells a story about race in its peculiarly American context.
