5.0 out of 5 stars
A state-of-the-art work...,
By Sam the fan (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Protecting Home: Class, Race, and Masculinity in Boys' Baseball (Paperback)
It's all here: beginning with one baseball field this book examines parenting, gender roles, urban race relations, gentrification and social class in the contemporary US city. But the most amazing part about it is its personal approach and style. We're right in there with dads (and moms) and especially with kids learning how to live through the kids' baseball league. Beautiful color photos show the joy and pain, the triumph and tragedy of an "ordinary" scene that is also truly epic. Grasmuck is a highly talented sociologist who finds in everyday life the political, moral, and spiritual struggles and lessons of our time and place. A unique achievement.
