Description
When studying sport, there is no escaping the specter of race. This introductory guide for students offers a comprehensive account of the relationships between sport and race. Broad in scope, Sport and Race considers a range of sports, national contexts, and racial and ethnic groups. Sport and Race is about more than stereotypes and prejudices. It examines the complex operations of race, racism, and racialization in sport worlds to students in clear language. Topics covered include scientific racism, (post)colonialism, ethnic nationalism, the racial economy of global sport, and anti-racism. It draws on global examples from North America, the UK and Europe, South Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa. It looks at a variety of athletic pursuits, including baseball, cricket, football, running, and basketball.
