Opis

This text deals with discrimination directed at both individuals and groups resulting in the exclusion from full participation in sport and the consequent struggle through sport for inclusion, recognition and respect. However, it deals also with sport as a source of cohesion between individuals and groups from persecuted ethnic minorities. The book makes one thing very clear: sport can be crucial in advancing the causes of oppressed minorities.
