MUHAMMAD ALI: EULOGY
Book ID/图书代码: 08900014B75161
English Summary/英文概要: Muhammad Ali has attained mythical stature in American life. But in recent years Ali has been subjected to an image makeover by corporate America as it seeks to homogenize the electrifying nature of his persona. Hauser argues that there has been a deliberate distortion of what Ali believed, said, and stood for, and that making Ali more presentable for ad agencies by sanitizing his legacy is a disservice to history and to Ali himself. Muhammad Ali: Eulogy strips away the revisionism to reveal the true Ali and, through Hauser’s assembled writing and several never-before-published essays, recounts the life journey of the man now universally recognized as a champion of peace, freedom, and justice.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 穆罕默德•阿里在美国生活中有着神话般的地位。但近年来,阿里在美国上下遭遇了形象大变化,人们希望使他令人振奋的天性同类化。豪泽认为有关阿里信仰的、说的、代表的东西已经发生故意的曲解,清理他的遗产以使他更好地为广告机构代言的行为,既是对历史的损害,也是对他本人的伤害。《穆罕默德•阿里:颂词》抛开了修正主义,揭示了真正的阿里,通过豪泽的组合式写作和一些从未发表的论文,重新对阿里——目前全世界普遍公认的代表和平、自由和正义的冠军——的生命进行评价。(LNL)
