Ali on Ali : why he said what he said when he said it
\"\"Muhammad Ali was a champion, a poet, a prophet. Sports Illustrated called him \"the greatest athlete of the twentieth century.\" And yet he was even more than all of that, \"a whole greater than the sum of its parts . . . bigger, brighter, more original and influential than just about anyone of his era\" (Barack Obama). He got there with his fists, with his actions, and above all, with his words. Compiled and written by his daughter Hana Ali, with sportswriter Danny Peary, Ali on Ali brings together a remarkable mix of Ali's 70 most humorous, poignant, inspirational, political, and philosophical quotes, all with their origins. Here's Ali's enduring boast, \"I am the greatest!\"--and how it was inspired by professional wrestler Gorgeous George. The story behind one of the most memorably poetic lines of the century--\"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.\" The heard-round-the-world defiance of \"I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong,\" and its moving context. And the stories behind quotes ranging from outrage--\"We been in jail for 400 years,\" to inspiration--\"I hated every minute of training, but I said 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion,'\" to that infectious combination of humor and bravado--\"If you even dream of beating me you better wake up and apologize.\" Included are powerful photographs throughout, from iconic fight scenes to never-before-seen Ali family snapshots; quotes about Ali, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Billy Crystal; a career timeline; and a personal introduction by Hana Ali\"-- Provided by publisher.

Exhibiting Ali's Super Fights: The Contested Politics and Brief History of Closed-Circuit Boxing Broadcasts
This article considers the cultural politics of closed-circuit prizefighting broadcasts—a seldom examined part of media history—by examining Muhammad Ali and The Super Fight (1970), a film based on a computerized simulation of a match between Ali and retired former heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. It demonstrates how public, closed-circuit telecast exhibitions informed Ali's divisive identity, and, in turn, how Ali impacted the culture, industry, and metamorphosis of closed-circuit sports TV.

James, British cultural theorist Stuart Hall, and Jamaican musician Bob Marley—Farred develops a new category of engaged thinker: the vernacular intellectual. He offers a vision of intellectual activity that is as valid in the boxing ring as in academia.

The Geopolitics of Interment: An Inquiry into the Burial of Muhammad Ali in Jerusalem, 1931
On Friday, 23 January 1931, the prominent Muslim Indian leader Muhammad Ali Jouhar, who died in London on 4 January, was interred in the perimeter of the Jerusalem Haram al-Sharif compound. The article offers a detailed historical analysis of the geopolitics underlying and surrounding the interment of Muhammad Ali in Jerusalem. The underlying premise of the investigation is that a large-scale political production, the interment of Muhammad Ali in Jerusalem, involved a variety of political actors with particular interests and stakes. In addition to Amin al-Husayni, the Grand Mufti and the Head of the Muslim Supreme Council in British mandate Palestine who initiated and promoted the burial of Muhammad Ali in Jerusalem, other major actors included the British Government(s) in London and in Jerusalem. Among the local political actors, the role of the Zionist leadership, most prominently Colonel Fredrick Kisch, head of the political department of the Jewish Agency, was especially awkward. Like the political rivals of the Grand Mufti within Arab-Palestinian society, the Zionist leadership was ostensibly consigned to the role of spectator in an unfolding political play whose script was written by the Grand Mufti and approved by the British Government.
