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.
