This thought provoking and timely book entitled # Take A Knee, is an excellent collection of more than twenty academic essays, influenced by the political awakening of Colin Kaepernick, the former National Football League quarter back, who reignited the dormant tradition of Black athlete activism, when he refused to stand during the national anthem throughout the 2016 season.
Furthermore, this powerful compilation of essays, offer a range of dynamic perspectives which challenges academics, politicians, the media and the wider American public to honestly question if exercising ones first amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to protest, in the land of the brave and the free, is only acceptable if the method of protest excludes sitting, kneeling or raising a fist, during the playing of the national anthem, especially when the issues of concern revolve around racism and police brutality. This book concludes that Colin Kaepernick, like so many inspirational Black activist athletes in the past, he'll be vindicated, idolized and eventually considered a legend, and the subject of numerous academic books, films and documentaries, in years to come..

Описание: Four people from very diverse backgrounds, upbringings and experiences happened to forge unique friendships that would enable them to discuss, dissect and build around topics of importance and value. During this time the climate was changing and moving at a fast pace due to a new emerging narrative on race and racism within the United States of America. Race had been a subject these four friends had discussed on many levels and it was from such a conversation that the idea of a book came: a book that would explore the complexities of race, culture, music, racism, white privilege, mass incarceration/modern day slavery and the actions of people such as Colin Kaepernick, who had been hailed a hero by some and vilified by others. In this book we explore how racism has played a huge part in the lives of black people for hundreds of years and how, sadly, the development of a nation has not produced an environment or mentality healthy enough for the eradication of the oppression of people of color.

Riveting and inspiring first-person stories of how "taking a knee" triggered an awakening in sports, from the celebrated sportswriter
"Dave Zirin hits the bullseye with this textured examination of the man behind the movement and the movement inspired by the man. The Kaepernick Effect answers all of our questions, and more, while simultaneously connecting the dots to a moment in contemporary times that will be remembered for the global awakening it inspired." --Sekou Smith; NBA TV/NBA.com senior analyst
In 2016, amid an epidemic of police shootings of African Americans, the celebrated NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick began a series of quiet protests on the field, refusing to stand during the U.S. national anthem. By "taking a knee," Kaepernick bravely joined a long tradition of American athletes making powerful political statements. This time, however, Kaepernick's simple act spread like wildfire throughout American society, becoming the preeminent symbol of resistance to America's persistent racial inequality.
Critically acclaimed sports journalist and author of A People's History of Sports in the United States, Dave Zirin chronicles "the Kaepernick effect" for the first time, through interviews with a broad cross-section of professional athletes across many different sports, college stars and high-powered athletic directors, and high school athletes and coaches. In each case, he uncovers the fascinating explanations and motivations behind a mass political movement in sports, through deeply personal and inspiring accounts of risk-taking, activism, and courage both on and off the field.
A book about the politics of sport, and the impact of sports on politics, The Kaepernick Effect is for anyone seeking to understand an essential dimension of the new movement for racial justice in America.
