While exploring the history of Black baseball in one southwestern Ontario community, this book also provides insights into larger themes in Canadian Black history and sport history including gender, class, social justice, and memory and remembrance.

Relates to topical stories of sports and race (eg., Colin Kaepernick)
Expands on Black history, history of race in Canada (troubles the idea that Canada is more benevolent and that there was no racism or segregation here, which many people believe)
For sports historians and sport sociologists
Accessible for the general reader interested in baseball history
Chatham Coloured All-Stars to be recognized by Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 2022
Another book on this team will be published in May 2023 but is for general reader and only follows their championship year. (Tentative title 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars’ Barrier-Breaking Year) – not our book
