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 the United States?

Reflecting on these questions, RafikMohamed 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, and about how the politics of race—and resistance—are mediated through sports.

A. RafikMohamed is professor of sociology and dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at California State University San Bernardino. He is coauthor of Dorm Room Dealers: Drugs and the Privileges of Race and Class.

The BlackMan’s Game. Sports and Basketball in Black American Culture. Everyday Resistance and

BlackMan’s Rules. Playing It Cool, Pushing Back. The Mandingo Syndrome. Taking Soul to the Hole.
