Tigerland: 1968-1969: A City Divided, a Nation Torn Apart, and a Magical Season of Healing

byWil Haygood

Wil Haygood uses Tigerland to investigate 1968-1969: A City Divided, a Nation Torn Apart, and a Magical Season of Healing through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and sports & recreation. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
