Opis

Social inequalities in wider society are often reproduced in sport and leisure contexts. However, sport and leisure can be sites of resistance as well as oppression; they can be repressive or effect positive social change. This challenging and important book brings together cases examining different dimensions of inequality in sport and leisure (race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability and class), presenting research-based strategies in support of social justice by placing disadvantaged communities centre stage. It covers topics such as coaching, anti-racism, Muslim women, and youth sport, and includes innovative theoretical, methodological and empirical material.
