Revolt of the White Athlete

- Race, Media and the Emergence of Extreme Athletes in America

Über Revolt of the White Athlete

Informed by whiteness studies, Kyle Kusz¿s groundbreaking book examines the role that sport discourses play in reproducing a central, normative, and superior position for white masculinity in American culture and society at the turn of the twenty-first century. Specifically, Kusz illuminates how the American sports media ¿ through cover stories detailing the so-called disappearance of the white (male) athlete in American sports or the rise of extreme sports ¿ produced a set of contradictory images of white masculinity as victimized and unprivileged, yet superior and squarely centered in American culture, that shaped and were shaped by a broader cultural struggle to re-secure white male privilege.
