An unforgettable season...Part historical fiction, part memoir, this novel takes place over a 10-week period in the summer of 1956 in a small town in the mid-west. It is based on a true story of the social and athletic achievements of an eleven-man mixed-race baseball team. Under the leadership of an aging, charismatic African-American manager, the Brown Bombers tolerated the nearness of racism as part of the price they pay for the privilege of playing the game they love. Some abuses are blatantly present while others are more subtle. However, the game itself offers a focus and comfort quite apart from the daily live of this diverse group of young men as they strive to perfect their baseball skills. A daily perspective of the team is delivered by a single white boy, determined by the manager to be "brown enough." With a "magic" bat, a lucky arrowhead and an expanding fan base, the Bombers ultimately achieve a success beyond expectations - From Back Cover. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
