Description

‘Race’, Youth Sport, Physical Activity and Health provides a resource that addresses ‘race’ and racism in an accessible way by contextualizing theory with practical evidence-based examples drawn from global geographical and cultural settings. This is the first book to focus on issues of ‘race’ and racism in youth sport, physical activity and health. Drawing on critical race theory, intersectionality and post-feminism, and presenting a range of international empirical case studies, it explores racialization processes in pedagogical and non-pedagogical settings. The book examines how ‘race’ and racism in pedagogical settings shape young peoples’ dispositions towards participation in sport and physical activity, and how identity discourses are being shaped in contemporary sport, physical activity and health. Essential reading for anybody working in sport and exercise studies, physical education, sociology or health studies.

Author Biography:

Symeon Dagkas is Professor of Sport, Physical Activity and Society and Dean of the Faculty of Sport, Health and Applied Sciences at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London. His work is concentrated on examining intersections of race; class, ethnicity and culture amongst young people with migrant and ethnic minority background and its impact on their agency and practice towards sport, physical activity, health and PE. Laura Azzarito is Program Director of the graduate program in Physical Education Pedagogy and Physical Culture, and Co-Director of the Visual Research Center for Education, Art, and Social Change at Teachers College, Columbia University, USA. Dr. Azzarito strives to understand nuanced conceptualizations of young people’s embodiment with attention to the complex articulation of gender/sex, race/ethnicity, and social class. Kevin Hylton is Head of the Research Centre for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Leeds Beckett University, UK. He is also Professor of Equality and Diversity in Sport, Leisure and Education and is the first black Professor to hold this position.
