Superman trap) -- The boy they called man -- Man among
Browns -- Jim Brown's black power : "If I ever march, I'll
march alone" -- Almost a leading man : the Hollywood
hustle -- Man up : gangsters, shot-callers, and fighting
to make peace -- Toxic : manhood and violence against
women -- Last man standing.
520 A unique biography of Jim Brown--football legend,
Hollywood star, and controversial activist--written by
acclaimed sports journalist Dave Zirin.
520 Brown's phenomenal nine-year career with the Cleveland
Browns is only part of his remarkable story, the opening
salvo to a much more sprawling epic. He parlayed his
athletic fame into stardom in Hollywood, was an outspoken
Black Power icon in the 1960s, and he formed Black
Economic Unions to challenge racism in the business world.
But his career has not been non-controversial. Zirin
redefines an American icon, and not always in a flattering
light. -- adapted from jacket
