Frank Andre Guridy Interview Episode 76
Manage episode 437679705 series 2177157
Matt Crawford speaks with author Frank Andre Guridy about his book, The Stadium: An American History of Politics, Protest, and Play. Stadiums are monuments to recreation, sports, and pleasure. Yet from the earliest ballparks to the present, stadiums have also functioned as public squares. Politicians have used them to cultivate loyalty to the status quo, while activists and athletes have used them for anti-fascist rallies, Black Power demonstrations, feminist protests, and much more. Guridy and I discuss how fundamental these structures are to our society and how they are a microcosm of larger moments in our history. A truly interesting read that will spur introspection and make you rethink these venues.
