The Dizzy and Daffy Dean Barnstorming Tour: Race, Media, and America's National Pastime

The Dizzy and Daffy Dean Barnstorming Tour: Race, Media, and America's National Pastime by Phil S. Dixon
English | August 22nd, 2019 | ISBN: 1538127393 | 304 pages | EPUB | 3.32 MB

This book follows Dizzy and Daffy Dean's All-Stars as they barnstormed across the country in 1934, taking the field against the greatest teams in the Negro Leagues. It shows the glory of the games as well as the disingenuous journalistic tactics that proliferated during the tour with an introspective look at its impact on race relations.
