Invisible Ball of Dreams - Emily Ruth Rutter - Bog

From the pioneering Cuban Giants (1885-1915) to the Negro Leagues (1920-1960), black baseball was a long-standing staple of African American communities. While many of its artifacts and statistics are lost, black baseball figured vibrantly in films, novels, plays, and poems. In Invisible Ball of Dreams, Emily Ruth Rutter examines wide-ranging representations of this history.
