Brian Bantum says that race is not merely an intellectual category or a biological fact. Much like the incarnation; it is a "word made flesh;" the confluence of various powers that allow some to organize and dominate the lives of others. In this way racism is a deeply theological problem; one that is central to the Christian story and one that plays out daily in the United States and throughout the world.In The Death of Race; Bantum argues that our attempts to heal racism will not succeed until we address what gives rise to racism in the first place: a fallen understanding of our bodies that sees difference as something to resist; defeat; or subdue. Therefore; he examines the question of race; but through the lens of our bodies and what our bodies mean in the midst of a complicated; racialized world; one that perpetually dehumanizes dark bodies; thereby rendering all of us less than God's intention.

It will open your mind and your heart to the incredible legacy of powerful; resilient; and dignified women that have come before us. Now; more than ever; we have a responsibility to share these images and stories; to build a commonly held history of women's achievements in athletics and everything else.Molly Schiot has written these stories in clear and accessible vignettes and paired them with AMAZING PHOTOS. It is a total joy to read and has already started some really fun conversations at work. Young athletes; old athletes; women; men; and everyone in between will find moments of awe and inspiration in this book.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Incredible Game Changers - Unsung Heroines is an UnderstatementBy Gail M. LaddThis well-written and informative book is a "must read"; especially for parents with daughters. I learned about so many courageous women athletes who are truly heroines and game changers. Many of these women I had never heard of; such as Conchita Cintron; the bullfighter. I have four sons; three of whom are parents of daughters. Each son will get a copy to share with his girls!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. loved reading about my swimming heroes and hearing about the ...By MossrockThoughtful and insightful...Grew up into sports in the 60's..loved reading about my swimming heroes and hearing about the unsung women who were pursuing their dreams.
