Defining itself against the Harlem Renaissance and deeply rooted in black cultural nationalism, the Black Arts writers imagined themselves as the artistic wing of the Black Power movement. Amiri Baraka, Larry Neal and Sonia Sanchez viewed black art as a matter less of aesthetics than of protest; its function was to serve the political liberation of black people from white racism.

I watch all kinds of sports, but as a sport, not as a morality tale. I don't think Shaq O'Neal is a better human being than the players he jumps over. Most people lose. That doesn't make them any less human." And it's precisely that humanness that the new sports movies, with their pat victories and their egregious ethnic stereotypes, are incapable of exploring...
