Fighter From Whitechapel: The Story Of Daniel Mendoza

""Fighter From Whitechapel: The Story Of Daniel Mendoza"" by Harold U. Ribalow is a biographical account of the life of Daniel Mendoza, a Jewish boxer who rose to fame in 18th-century England. Born to a poor family in Whitechapel, London, Mendoza began his career as a street fighter before turning to professional boxing. He quickly gained a reputation as a skilled and innovative fighter, known for his speed, agility, and scientific approach to the sport.Mendoza's success in the ring brought him fame and fortune, but also drew the attention of the upper classes, who were both fascinated and repulsed by his Jewish heritage. Ribalow explores the social and cultural context of Mendoza's life, examining the prejudices and stereotypes that he faced as a Jewish boxer in a predominantly Christian society.Despite these challenges, Mendoza continued to thrive, becoming a national hero and a symbol of Jewish pride. He fought some of the most famous boxers of his time and was eventually inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.""Fighter From Whitechapel"" is a fascinating and well-researched biography that sheds light on an important figure in the history of boxing and Jewish culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in sports history, Jewish history, or the social dynamics of 18th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
