Black Superman: A Cultural and Biological History of the People Who Became the World’s Greatest Athletes

In a persuasive and engaging mix of sports, science, and history, the author proposes that the athletic success of African Americans is due, primarily, to differences in glucose conversion rates between them and other racial and ethnic groups. The book, ten years in the research and writing, does a masterful job of exposing and debunking the lies and deceptions that were designed to perpetuate the twin myths of African backwardness and black intellectual inferiority.
