  • STAYING AHEAD of the POSSE: the BEN JOBE Story As Told to and by JOE FORMICHELLA
    M E D I A I N F O R M A T I O N STAYING AHEAD OF THE POSSE: The BEN JOBE Story as told to and by JOE FORMICHELLA Ben Jobe is not afraid of starting fires. For kindling he chooses words and deeply personal, historically significant stories. Staying Ahead of the Posse: The Ben Jobe Story is history in the flesh, the history of basketball and the Civil Rights Movement, of desegregation and economic exploitation, of HBCUs and the NCAA, of African independence and the modern-day plantation that is the American sports industry. Ben’s life—forty-some years of coaching, teaching, nurturing, and mentoring—intersected with and was influenced by all of those developments. And despite a self-described lifetime of “staying ahead of the posse,” he’s now ready to take a stand, tell his story, and in the process put a torch to what he considers a few myths, the myth of “integration,” the myth of a “benevolent” NCAA, among many others. Provocative and inspiring both on the fields of play and in the trenches of life, Ben’s approach is one which, if followed, could make winners of us all. This press kit contains: Author Biographies Portrait of Ben Jobe by artist Kevin D’Amico An exclusive interview with Ben Jobe, conducted by Joe Formichella A 5-page excerpt from Staying Ahead of the Posse River City Publishing contact information STAYING AHEAD OF THE POSSE: The Ben Jobe Story as told to and by Joe Formichella Available from River City Publishing Spring 2008 (late March) Genre: Memoir ISBN 10: 1-57966-082-7 ISBN 13: 978-1-57966-082-6 Format: Trade Cloth Trim Size: 6 x 9 Page Count: 225 (apx.) Retail Price: $24.95 Pub Date: March 31, 2008 Author Biographies: Ben Jobe, one generation removed from slavery, was born in Little Hope, Tennessee, in 1933.
