In "Black Planet," David Shields delves into the complex dynamics of race in the National Basketball Association, focusing on the Seattle SuperSonics during a single season. Through the lens of a predominantly Black sport, he examines how White fans, including himself, perceive and articulate their views on Black players, highlighting themes of heroism and scapegoating. This critically acclaimed work, which garnered significant controversy, received several prestigious nominations and was recognized as one of the Top Ten Nonfiction Books of 1999.
