Latinos in the End Zone: Conversations on the Brown Color Line in the NFL.
Latinos in the End Zone analyzes the history of Latinos in the pro football leagues.
Frederick Luis Aldama. Co-author, Christopher González.
Latinos in the End Zone: Conversations on the Brown Color Line in the NFL digs up and analyzes the history of Latinos in the pro football leagues: Brown Color Lines, the Great Depression, WWII, the birth of TV, Civil Rights struggles, the twenty-first-century Latino demographic explosion, among others. Aldama and González thread an alpha-to-omega, all-encompassing story of Latinos in the NFL. They push hard at issues such as racial prejudice, including why Latinos have historically had to cross into the Canadian Leagues to prove themselves to white American officiators and the glaring omission of prominent Latino names honored within the hallowed interiors of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Encyclopedic in scope and powerfully pointed in its analysis, they spotlight the significant contribution made by Latinos in the history of pro football.
