Résumé
Reviewed by: City of Champions: A History of Triumph and Defeat in Detroit by Stefan Szymanski and Silke-Maria Weineck Patrick J. Harrigan Stefan Szymanski and Silke-Maria Weineck. City of Champions: A History of Triumph and Defeat in Detroit. New York: The New Press, 2020. Pp. 416. Index. Notes. Hardcover: $29.99. The Detroit Tigers won their first World Series in 1935, defeating the Chicago Cubs four games to two. The Detroit Lions won their first National Football League championship 26-7 over the New York Giants, and the Detroit Red Wings gathered the Stanley Cup three games to one versus the Toronto Maple Leafs in April 1936, ending the 1935-36 season. No other city has held three major sport championships in the same year. Gar Wood was then dominating powerboat racing, held on the Detroit River for half a century. In a ceremony held in the Masonic Temple in downtown Detroit, Michigan Governor Frank Fitzgerald designated April 18, 1936, as "The Day of Champions" honoring victors in minor sports as well. Detroiter Joe Louis's heavyweight boxing championship the next year cemented Detroit's reputation as "City of Champions." All was not well in Detroit, however, for 80,000 auto workers' jobs had been lost in the Depression and union organization had been met with violence at the auto plants. Eighty-five years later, two Ann Arborites—Stefan Szymanski and Silke-Maria Weineck—have honored that memory with City of Champions: A History of Triumph and Defeat in Detroit. The selection of that title gives a clue [End Page 161] that there is a nostalgic feel to the book. The writers clearly love Detroit, warts and all. The format of the book is unusual. It consists of thirty vignettes in reverse chronological order, "selecting iconic moments in Detroit sports [that] fan out … into the life of the city and its people." (ix) The first chapter focuses on 2017 and District Detroit. The link to sport is that it was the brainchild of Mike Ilitch, the owner of both the Tigers and the Red Wings until his death in February of that year. Despite high hopes, the District has floundered. Unhappily, it is one of many failed attempts to reverse Detroit's decline going back to the Ren Cen debacle fifty years before. (Chapter 11) The Tigers World Series victory of 1968 was supposed to bring Detroiters together after the 1967 riots. (Chapter 12 is titled "Can a world series heal a grievously wounded city?") Newspaper writers then claimed a restored unity through baseball, but it was not to be. Walter O. Briggs's racism guaranteed Black antipathy toward the Tigers. Happily, the authors do not claim anything more than a moment of communal joy. Two hundred thousand White Detroiters had fled to the suburbs by 1970. A distinctive relation between sport and general history occurs in the earliest episode (1763), a game of baggataway (lacrosse) between Ojibwas and soldiers was a subterfuge to attack the British and restore the land to Native Americans. Ultimately, Detroit fell to the settlers, but the suburb of Pontiac honors the Indian chief. City of Champions will not add to the scholarly canon, but it is an enjoyable trip down memory lane. The authors link sport and community temporally but not syncretically. Readers should sample the chapters that most interest them. Patrick J.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
