<i>No Final Victories:</i> 40 Years on the Frontlines of Race, Sport, and Culture

Abstract

As a prelude to the 40th anniversary of the publication of his influential book, <i>The Revolt of the Black Athlete</i> (1969), we had the opportunity to speak at length with Dr. Harry Edwards in a series of face-to-face and telephone interviews totaling more than six hours. Our wide-ranging interview explored Edwards' own appraisal of his "legacy," a reflection of his contributions to scholarly and activist projects as a consideration of his work with professional sports team organizations. It is our hope to have genuinely captured the complexities, contradictions, and contributions of this important sport studies figure.
