The black prizefighter labored in one of the few trades where an African American man could win renown: boxing. His prowess in the ring asserted an independence and powerful masculinity rare for black men in a whitedominated society, allowing him to be a manand thus truly free.Louis Moore draws on the life stories of African American fighters active from 1880 to 1915 to explore workingclass black manhood. As he details, boxers bought into American ideas about masculinity and free enterprise to prove their equality while using their bodies to become selfmade men. The African American middle class, meanwhile, grappled with an expression of public black maleness they saw related to disreputable leisure rather than respectable labor. Moore shows how each fighter conformed to middleclass ideas of masculinity based on his own judgment of what culture would accept. Finally, he argues that African American success in the ring shattered the myth of black inferiority despite media and government efforts to defend white privilege.
