Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Hoberman argues that the example of Ben Johnson was the logical outcome of a sporting ethos which seeks ever greater speed and strength - the creation of a man-machine - and the financial corruption of the Olympic ethos.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Darwin's Athletes zeroes in on our society's fixation on black athletic achievement.

The scarcity of other kinds of race heroes has conferred messianic status on the most popular black athletes, fostering a delusion of integration while contributing to deep social divisions. Ironically, Hoberman argues, the decline of European empires and the rise of the black athlete helped to preserve rather than undermine the inferior status of nonwhites.…
