Publisher's description: Since the earliest days of the silent era, American filmmakers have been drawn to the visual spectacles of sports and their compelling narratives of conflict, triumph, and individual achievement. In Contesting Identities Aaron Baker examines how these cinematic representations of sports and athletes have evolved over time--from The Pinch Hitter and Buster Keaton's College to White Men Can't Jump, Jerry Maguire, and Girlfight. He focuses on how identities have been constructed and transcended in American society since the early twentieth century. Whether depicting team or individual sports, these films return to that most American of themes, the master narrative of self-reliance. Baker shows that even as sports films tackle socially constructed identities such as class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender, they ultimately underscore transcendence of these identities through self-reliance. In addition to discussing the genre's recurring dramatic tropes, from the populist prizefighter to the hot-headed rebel to the "manly" female athlete, Baker also looks at the social and cinematic impacts of real-life sports figures from Jackie Robinson and Babe Didrikson Zaharias to Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan.

I’m excited to share my story with you. Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I’m talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn’t get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I’ll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I’m sharing it all in these pages. It’s not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you’re a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law & Order theme.)

I wrote this book about all my persecutions and suffering from Romania in the time of communism. Everything began in 1983 when I decided to leave my country. I could never forget those six years from 1983-1989 of all the suffering and persecution I pulled through, those memories will never leave me. This book is my witness, and I thank God that I am able to write about all my sufferings and persecution during the communist period in my country Romania. I was abused physically and mentally, and it even got to the point where they would try to kill me because of my origin, which is a gypsy. Yes, I am gypsy but, I am also human like everyone else. I have the same blood and the same god like anybody else. I am proud to write on this piece of paper about the tragic events that occurred during the communist period of time in Romania. The brutal crimes, murders, and persecution that occurred transformed population in my country into slaves. Im writing this book about my life, how much I suffered, and how I was persecuted under the communist period. And also I wrote about the events that happened in World War II 1940-1944 under the Marshal Antonescu power; how he persecuted the gypsy and deported them in Trasnistria camp. The persecution didnt stop there; they continued all the way to the year of 1989 under Ceausescu Nicolaie, the President of Romania. Reader, once you open this book, I promise you after you read just a few pages you cant stop reading. Just try to read it, and I guaranty that you will feel and live my moments of my sufferings and persecution. This is not a fi ction book; this is not a storybook, and everything in this book is real. In this book you can fi nd very tragic and humorous events. Maybe youll never read a book like this ever in your life. You discover historic events that were never written, like how the communist would sell the Jews and the gypsies in Europe, and also, how they deported and made them suffer in Trasnistria Camp during the World War II, and many more. I wrote this book crying because I suffered so much for only one reason: I WANT MY FREEDOM!

In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The closest reference to “sport” is transportation. In fact, the bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education. In time, Title IX would serve as the tipping point for the modern era of women’s sport. Slowly but surely, women’s athletics at the high school and collegiate levels grew to prominence, and Tennessee fast emerged as a national leader. In Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers, Mary Ellen Pethel introduces readers to past and present pioneers—each instrumental to the success of women’s athletics across the state and nation. Through vibrant profiles, Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Through their lived experiences, these fifty individuals laid the foundation for athletic excellence in Tennessee, which in turn shaped the national landscape for women’s sports. The book also provides readers with a fuller understanding of Title IX, as well as a concise history of women’s athletics in the pre- and post-Title IX eras. With interviewees ranging from age 20 to 93, Pethel artfully combines storytelling with scholarship. Guided by the voices of the athletes, coaches, and administrators, Pethel vividly documents achievement and adversity, wins and losses, and advice for the next generation. This book represents the first statewide compilation of its kind—offering readers a behind-the- scenes perspective of Tennessee women who dedicated their lives to the advancement of sport and gender equality. Readers will delight in Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers: 50 Years, 50 Stories.
