Harlem Globetrotters

"Harlem Globetrotters" as a book category covers works that center on the famed exhibition basketball team and the cultural world it represents: histories and biographies of players and founders, memoirs, children's picture books, sports nonfiction, and fictional stories inspired by their blend of athletic skill, comedy, and showmanship. These books explore themes of extraordinary talent and teamwork, theatrical performance and slapstick humor, the team’s role in breaking racial barriers and representing African American athleticism on global tours, and their community and charitable outreach. Tone ranges from lighthearted and family-friendly picture books that celebrate tricks and fun to serious sports histories and social histories that situate the Globetrotters in the context of segregation, entertainment, and international diplomacy. Typical readers include sports fans, families, educators, and anyone interested in African American cultural history or performance-based athletics.

  1. 1. Magic In The Air by Mike Sielski

    The Myth, the Mystery, and the Soul of the Slam Dunk

    Mike Sielski traces the history of the slam dunk and its influence on basketball and American social change. He shows how the dunk helped shift the sport from white control to a Black man's game and became an expression of Black culture during the civil rights era. After a nearly decade-long college ban the dunk reemerged through stars from Julius Erving to Michael Jordan and helped grow the NBA into a global league.
