John Edgar Wideman

Writing 'Hoop Roots' was a substitute or a surrogate activity. I can't play anymore - my body won't cooperate - so in the writing of the book, I was looking to tell a good story about my life and about basketball, but I was also looking to entertain myself the way that I entertain myself when I play.

Surrogate often carries emotional weight, implying compassion and willingness to help others.

Emotional Aspect

Use 'surrogate' in specific contexts where a substitute is acting for a particular role or function.

Context Specific

'Surrogate' is not always interchangeable with 'substitute'; it implies a chosen or appointed replacement.

Not Interchangeable

As an adjective, 'surrogate' can describe roles beyond physical replacement, like emotional support.

Beyond Physical

'Surrogate' often suggests a temporary role until the actual person or thing returns or takes over.

Temporary Role

Using 'surrogate' can imply a sense of duty or responsibility toward the assumed role.

Sense of Responsibility

'Surrogate' in politics means representing specific interests or groups, often appointed by them.

Representation Nuance

'Surrogate' reflects the voice or vote of those not present, crucial in democratic representation.

Democratic Echo

As a legal surrogate, the individual actively supports and defends the interests of their group.

Advocate's Role

In psychology, 'surrogate' denotes an aid in therapy, creating a safe space for emotional exploration.

Therapeutic Device

A surrogate may be essential to simulate situations or relationships in controlled experiments.
