The Elite Duo discuss the latest "controversy" over the American Historical Associations apolitical stance and the issues with objectivity in history and critical thinking. #Elite

This week on The End of Sport, Johanna and Derek are joined by Dr. Frank Guridy to talk about his hot-off-the-press book The Sports Revolution: How Texas Changed the Culture of Athletics, the place of Texas in the reconfiguration of American athletics, and the role of athlete activists in such reformations. The first half of the episode goes through some of the key takeaways from the book and tells a story of how Texas and its specific political economy was foundational in changing athletic culture. We then dive into a discussion of how we can take these stories from The Sports Revolution to help us better understand our contemporary moment, athlete activism in sport, and the overarching racial dynamics inherent to the structure of American sport.  Frank Guridy is an Associate Professor of History at Columbia University whose work focuses on sport history, urban history, and the history of the African diaspora in the Americas. He is not only an award-winning historian, but also has won two awards for his pedagogy which is impressive. His first book, Forging Diaspora: Afro-Cubans and African Americans in a World of Empire and Jim Crow, won prestigious prizes from both the Association of Caribbean Historians and the American Historical Associations. He is joining us today to talk about his new book, titled The Sports Revolution: How Texas Changed the Culture of Athletics which just came out and comes *highly* recommended.  _____________________________________ For a transcription of this episode, please click here. (Updated semi-regularly Credit @punkademic) Research Assistance for The End of Sport provided by Abigail Bomba. ________________________________ If you're interested you can support the show via our Patreon.

In Crossing the Color Line: Race, Sex, and the Contested Politics of Colonialism in Ghana (Ohio University Press, 2015), Carina E. Ray interrogates the intersections of race, marriage, gender and empire in this thought-provoking study that challenges the notion of identity and the politics that surround it. Ray plumbs the depth of an array of archival material, which includes travel narratives, visual sources, administrative records, wills, and personal and official correspondence. She also conducted interviews to further piece together the inner lives of Africans and Europeans to show how interracial marriages and relationships evolved in Ghana. In a very compelling way, Ray deconstructs intersexual economies to show their linkages to the slave trade and beyond. Her opening vignette not only sets the stage for the themes she addresses to illustrate how Africans had agency even when it came to marrying across the color line. Shortlisted for the United Kingdom’s Fage and Oliver Prize and the winner of the American Historical Associations’s Wesley-Logan Prize for African Diaspora History, this groundbreaking book has set new standards for understanding race, its implementation and its interpretation not only in Africa but also around the world.
