Product Information

The National Basketball Association (NBA), founded over 75 years ago, is staging a 21st century takeover. With nearly one in three players born and trained overseas, it is no longer just about America. In this book, Lindsay Sarah Krasnoff shows how basketballs global takeover could not have happened without France, its interactions with the United States, and colonial legacies with francophone Africa and the Afro-Caribbean. Asking how and why so many French basketball players have joined the NBA and WNBA, Basketball Empire explores what this has meant for the league and the players themselves. Going behind the scenes, it follows the generations of men and women who, since 1950, have created a basketball breeding ground. Including interviews with players, sports journalists, league directors and coaches past and present, these first-hand accounts, supported by media and government archives, show how different forms of sports diplomacy sowed the seeds of a basketball revolution and helped make the NBA a global cultural entity. Arguing that basketball is deeply indebted to France's colonial history and close, albeit complicated, relationship with the United States, this book is about the creation of a cultural empire and shows how sports can be the vehicle to build bridges between nations.

Reviews
"With unparalleled originality, breadth, and research, the author - so well-versed in sports and diplomatic history on both sides of the Atlantic - shows how professional basketball swept across the world. The source material is breathtaking; the insights into Franco-American history are erudite and refreshing. Sports scholarship at its best!" -- Thomas W. Zeiler, Professor of History, University of Colorado Boulder, USA "Lindsay Krasnoff is a matchless scholar and historian who sets the record straight on France and basketball. Basketball Empire weaves an epic revelatory tapestry; necessary, alive and relevant today and going forward." -- David Hollander, Professor, NYU Tisch Institute for Global Sport, USA "Rich with illuminating context and the voices of pioneering personalities, this fascinating and important book traces the birth, growth and spread of French basketball, highlighting its interplay with both the U.S. and francophone Africa and the Caribbean. BASKETBALL EMPIRE shows how the openness of a younger generation helped France create a powerful diplomatic instrument-a basketball culture all its own." -- Alexander Wolff, author of Big Game, Small World: A Basketball Adventure "Big ball, small world. Sixty years ago, US pioneers traveled to France to teach basketball. Today, following the Tony Parkers, Sandrine Grudas or Nic Batums, young french ballers cook a new french cuisine in the NBA and WNBA. Chef Lindsay Krasnoff met them all and set the table for us, lucky readers!" -- Arnaud Lecomte, Basketball Grand reporter, L'Equipe, France "Her love and understanding of France shine through, and she is such a fluent writer. She hones in on the surprising americaphilia that runs through French popular culture, and explains how the transatlantic relationship is inflected by race and the legacy of French empire. This is a book that is about much more than basketball" -- Simon Kuper, Columnist for the Financial Times and author of Soccernomics "Dr Lindsay Krasnoff's Basketball Empire is an All-Star account of Franco-US basketball relations in a global context. The importance of considering the francophone dimension - both France and where French influence has blended with others, most notably across Africa - in the development of Basketball globally is presented in a rich and thoughtful fashion. The diversity of the source material delivers a fascinating array of narratives sharing unexpected rallies, buzzer-beaters, and prospects for the next generation. Basketball Empire is a slam-dunk!" -- J Simon Rofe, Reader, University of Leeds, UK, With unparalleled originality, breadth, and research, the author - so well-versed in sports and diplomatic history on both sides of the Atlantic - shows how professional basketball swept across the world. The source material is breathtaking; the insights into Franco-American history are erudite and refreshing. Sports scholarship at its best!

They ignored my request to cancel because I put in the wrong address. I re-ordered with the right address. I canceled within minutes. 3 days later they refuse and will deliver the book to the wrong address. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with GREAT BOOK PRICES. They are greedy and will put themselves above the customer. Spread the word.
