Beskrivelse af On Account of Darkness
"More than just history, this book can teach us all something. On Account of Darkness is a powerful read about racism and overcoming prejudice, not just in sports, but in Canada. These untold stories need to be heard." BOB IZUMI, sportsman and host of the Real Fishing Show "These stories show that anything is possible, and good things can happen, no matter who you are." FERGIE JENKINS, member of the MLB Hall of Fame For racialized athletes past and present, achievement can bring celebrity without equality and recognition without opportunity. ". . . it is so refreshing to read something that breaks new ground and discusses the issue from angles we have not seen. It is a deep dive into a vital topic that also contains such depth of feeling, depth of history, and depth of personal recollection to animate why knowing the past is so critical for the present." DAVE ZIRIN, Sports Editor, The Nation "A well-researched and often uncomfortable trip through Canadian sports history. Ian Kennedy's reporting . . . will rekindle discussions about athletes from our country's past who deserve a more prominent place in history and ought to also spark a debate about whether some of Canada's most prominent sporting legends deserve the pedestal they have been put upon." RICK WESTHEAD, TSN Senior Correspondent
