Reviews
" Unforgivable Blackness is likely to be the definitive biography of Jack Johnson . . . A significant achievement. Geoffrey Ward provides an utterly convincing and frequently heartrending portrait of Jack Johnson." --Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books "A formidable accomplishment . . . Ward has successfully brought this deep and colorful personality, this insufficiently understood and altogether amazing man, back to life." --David Margolick, The New York Times Book Review "Brings [Johnson] to life in all his vulgar, splendid glory. Engrossing and definitive, Unforgivable Blackness is a great biography of a great and utterly fascinating subject." --Allen Barra, The Philadelphia Inquirer "An engaging and well-researched popular biography . . . Throughout the book, Johnson's energy never flags, and neither does our interest. [Ward] has drawn a portrait of a fascinating figure, whose oversized personality fills every page." --Bruce Schoenfeld, Washington Post Book World "This remarkable book is at one and the same time a rousing story, a terrific biography, and first-rate history. With immense skill, Geoffrey Ward has not only brought Jack Johnson back to life but has provided a telling window onto what it was like to be a great black athlete in early-twentieth-century America." -Doris Kearns Goodwin "Geoffrey Ward's Unforgivable Blackness is a stunning exploration in the unbelievable bigotry of whites in early-twentieth-century America." -David Levering Lewis, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of the two-volume biography of W.

Synopsis
He was the first black heavyweight champion in history, the most celebratedand most reviledAfrican American of his age. In Unforgivable Blackness, the prizewinning biographer Geoffrey C. Ward brings to vivid life the real Jack Johnson, a figure far more complex and compelling than the newspaper headlines he inspired could ever convey. Johnson battled his way from obscurity to the top of the heavyweight ranks and in 1908 won the greatest prize in American sportsone that had always been the private preserve of white boxers. At a time when whites ran everything in America, he took orders from no one and resolved to live as if color did not exist. While most blacks struggled just to survive, he reveled in his riches and his fame. And at a time when the mere suspicion that a black man had flirted with a white woman could cost him his life, he insisted on sleeping with whomever he pleased, and married three. Because he did so the federal government set out to destroy him, and he was forced to endure a year of prison and seven years of exile. Ward points out that to most whites (and to some African Americans as well) he was seen as a perpetual threatprofligate, arrogant, amoral, a dark menace, and a danger to the natural order of things. Unforgivable Blackness is the first full-scale biography of Johnson in more than twenty years. Accompanied by more than fifty photographs and drawing on a wealth of new materialincluding Johnson's never-before-published prison memoirit restores Jack Johnson to his rightful place in the pantheon of American individualists. From the Hardcover edition.

- e***l (37)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI am revising this feedback as the seller explained that EBay doesn’t have a FAIR rating for books. The seller did accurately describe the book but I was comparing the ratings to those purchased on other sites. The seller prepared and delivered the product in a timely manner according to EBay’s policies. The seller should not be penalized by me.
- e***d (8)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéI was extremely pleased with my book from Texas Book Consignments. It looks brand new, although not advertised as new. Extra care was taken in packaging so that it would not get damaged by placing a piece of cardboard inside package for support. I have never seen that before with other sellers. It arrived in a timely manner. Overall, very, very pleased with this company.
