Review Quotes:
"[A] narrative of sport's capacity to fasten us within unforeseen sets of social relations.... Animating the journey is the rich personal relationships with athletes and coaches that Farred brings to life.... Most striking is Farred's subtle ability to humanize the college athletes he writes about, both within the context of sporting exploits and off-the-court endeavors."--Ethnic and Racial Studies
