| Synopsis: |
Critical Race Theory provides a framework for exploring racism in society, taking into account the role of institutions and drawing on the experiences of those affected. Applied to the world of sport, this framework can reveal the underlying social mores and institutionalised prejudices that have helped perpetuate those racial stereotypes particular to sport, and those that permeate broader society. In this groundbreaking sociological investigation, Kevin Hylton takes on the controversial subject of racial attitudes in sport and beyond. With sport as his primary focus, Hylton unpacks the central concepts of `race', ethnicity, social constructionism and racialisation, and helps the reader navigate the complicated issues and debates that surround the study of `race' in sport. Containing rigorous and insightful analysis throughout, the book explores key topics such as:the origins, applications and terminology of Critical Race Theorythe meaning of `whiteness' the media, sport and racismanti-racism and sportgenetics and scientific racism.The contested concepts that define the subject of `race' in sport present a constant challenge for academics, policy makers and practitioners in the development of their ideas, policies and interventions. This innovative and challenging book is essential reading for anybody looking to fully understand this important subject. |
