In \u003ci\u003eRedemption Song\u003c\/i\u003e, Mike Marqusee argues that Ali was not only a boxer but a remarkable political figure in a decade of tumultuous change. Playful, popular, always confrontational, Ali refashioned the role of a political activist and was central, alongside figures such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, to the black liberation and the anti-war movements. Marqusee shows that sport and politics were always intertwined, and this is the reason why Ali remained an international beacon of hope, long after he had left the ring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786632425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017 pg. 109\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mike Marqusee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51230725898421,"sku":"9781786632425","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f3d19394-490d-4297-b1b2-4ce6fc1e4e64.jpg?v=1750169927","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/redemption-song-muhammad-ali-and-the-spirit-of-the-sixties-9781786632425","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
