As the first African American World Heavyweight Champion (1908-1915), he publicly challenged white supremacy at home and abroad, enjoying the same audacious lifestyle of conspicuous consumption, masculine bravado, and interracial love wherever he traveled. Jack Johnson, Rebel Sojourner provides the first in-depth exploration of Johnson's battles against the color line in places as far-flung as Sydney, London, Cape Town, Paris, Havana, and Mexico City. In relating this dramatic story, Theresa Runstedtler constructs a global history of race, gender, and empire in the early twentieth century. 410 0$aAmerican crossroads ;$v33. 606 $aBoxers (Sports)$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American boxers$vBiography 606 $aBoxing$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRacism in sports 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory 615 0$aBoxers (Sports) 615 0$aAfrican American boxers 615 0$aBoxing$xHistory. 615 0$aRacism in sports. 676 $a796.83092 676 $aB 700 $aRunstedtler$b Theresa$01665119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813980303321 996 $aJack Johnson, rebel sojourner$94023568 997 $aUNINA
