"Theresa Runstedtler traces Jack Johnson's fabulous, furious, iconic life across five continents and through four paradigms (race, masculinity, imperialism, and popular culture), setting a formidably high bar in the emerging genre of transnational biography. "Jack Johnson: Rebel Sojourner" is a groundbreaking achievement."--David Levering Lewis, author of "W. E. B. Du Bois, 1868-1919: Biography of a Race" "This is a brilliantly researched and original study of the transnational career of the black American boxer Jack Johnson. In lucid and engaging prose, Theresa Runstedtler traces Johnson's travels across multiple continents, showing how Johnson's life serves as a cultural compass for the intersecting worlds of American, British, and French empire and ideas of race at the turn of the last century. This marvelous contribution to the burgeoning literature on the popular culture of imperialism and transnationalism will find a wide and appreciative audience among scholars of empire, American history, and African American studies."--Kevin Gaines, author of "American Africans in Ghana: Black Expatriates in the Civil Rights Era." "Theresa Runstetler's "Jack Johnson: Rebel Sojourner" is one of the two or three most important books on race and sports I have read in the last ten years. It shows that Jack Johnson's impact on black-white relations, during the years of his exile, was at least as great in countries outside the United States as it was domestically. When he fought outside the US, Johnson became a model of power and agency for colonial peoples seeking liberation, and an object of exotic fascination and aversion for whites trying to maintain their power in a changing world. It is a brilliantly researched and innovative work that forces the reader to look at race in countries like France and Mexico in a completely different way." --Mark Naison, Professor of African American Studies and History, Fordham University.
