    Defeat is not in the athlete’s vocabulary.  It is in their spirit. 
    How have sports evolved from a healthy expression of talent and prowess into a relentless vortex that grinds that talent into the athlete’s internal, secret defeat?  Anymore, this truth is like watching a funnel cloud develop before it advances into an F-5 tornado.  Most of us recognize it.  Most of us talk about it.  But few are willing to acknowledge and heed its warning. 
    1000% is the book that will take you into the aftermath of this reality.  It is not intended to diminish the brilliance and opportunity that sports provide.  Not at all.  This book will reconstruct the life of the athlete and expose the destructive forces that contribute to this concealed sense of defeat, fear, and mental health issues that many athletes secretly battle.  This book will also lead the athlete into a powerful revelation of their purpose as it provides answers for their hidden fears and sets them on a path to understand and overcome these adverse forces. 
    If you are an athlete, this book is for you.  The message woven throughout these pages is intended to reach you, offer understanding, and provide help.  These words will perhaps be your voice and weapon against an enemy that is trying to steal your identity, claim your spirit, and ultimately defeat you.  But… 
    THE VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU!

    In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.
