SUMMARY:The Jersey: The mysterious disappearance of Bill White\, American 
 Baseball’s first Jackie Robinson
LOCATION:26300 Evergreen Road Southfield\, MI 48076\, Meeting Room
DESCRIPTION:<p>See Alvin Strane as he talks about his debut book\, The Jer
 sey: The mysterious disappearance of Bill White\, American Baseball&rsquo\
 ;s first Jackie Robinson.</p>\n<p><br />The Jersey brings a new dimension 
 to what it means to be an African-American \"first.\" It draws us into the
  history of passing that many African Americans considered a necessary sur
 vival strategy or a viable path to success in a racist America and acknowl
 edges the racial triumphs obscured by this phenomenon. Although the novel 
 unveils troubling aspects of our culture\, it also presents a story of a b
 udding romance and of female solidarity in the male-dominated world of pro
 fessional sports. Strane presents us with an enlighten-ing and ultimately 
 heart-warming read. Barbara J. Wilcots\, Ph.D. Vice President\, Students A
 ffairs Regis University Denver\, Colorado.</p>\n<p><br />Copies of The Jer
 sey will be available for sale and signing.</p>
