EXTRAORDINARY LIVES

PABLO BRESCIA’s Diego Maradona: A Socio-Cultural Study tells the story of one of the greatest soccer players in history, who also became a culturally constructed political figurehead. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided, SCOTT EYMAN offers an insightful portrait of a genius and his fall from grace in an America consumed by political turmoil. And in ADRIAN MATEJKA’s Last On His Feet: Jack Johnson and the Battle of the Century, verse and illustration are combined to offer a front-row seat to the epic fight between the world’s first Black heavyweight champion and his opponent, former champion Jim Jeffries, the “great white hope.” Moderating is critically acclaimed author LES STANDIFORD.
