Bücher der Reihe Routledge Critical Perspectives on Equality and Social Justice in Sport and Leisure

This book emphasizes that research should be done with rather than on young people. Engaging with the social changes in Irish society through the eyes of the first children of immigrants growing up in Ireland, it offers a compelling analysis of how ideas of race and racism emerge and are elaborated in the field of youth sport.

This challenging and important book brings together contemporary cases examining different dimensions of inequality in sport and leisure, ranging from race and ethnicity to gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion and class.

Through a social justice and equity lens, this book examines how families, sport and leisure connect to broader social issues in society. It goes beyond describing oppression and disadvantaged identities, and focuses on advocacy and ways forward to challenge the status quo.

'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.
