Brooklyn's Dodgers
I'm not sure where I got this book from. There's a Barnes and Noble Bargain Section sticker on it, but the book is in rough shape, with creased pages. However it arrived in my home, I did not read the back cover before diving in, so the scholarly treatment of the Dodgers through the sociological factors of racism, masculinity, sexism, etc. was a bit of a surprise. I was expecting a straightforward history of the team. If you want to know about the players and the seasons, this isn't really the best source. If you want to find out which Major League players and managers were the most racist when Jackie Robinson broke into the game, this is definitely an eye-opener.
