Outside the Paint: When Basketball Ruled at the Chinese Playground
Author: Yep, Kathleen (Author) 9781592139422 hardcover
"This book accomplishes much more than simply documenting the explosion of basketball's popularity in San Francisco's Chinatown. Yep explores several sociological themes throughout the book's chapters, such as how sports help marginalized segments of society develop a sense of belonging, and how sports gain political importance among segregated groups....For this reason, Outside the Paint is not simply a book about basketball, but a vivid description of how sports affect the identity of groups and their interactions with larger society."
