It also powerfully sounds the alarm on the need to protect young international student athletes who due to anti-Black citizenship and immigration policies are too often viewed as disposable players rather than young people vulnerable to victimization and abuse.” - Kaysha Corinealdi, author of Panama in Black: Afro-Caribbean World Making in the Twentieth Century

While offering new critical terms and deeply engaging with contemporary critical theory, this book is a wholly unique yet also deeply grounded intellectual intervention.” - Imani Perry, author of Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People
