Description

Product Description Social inequalities 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 promote positive social change. 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. Presenting research-based strategies in support of social justice, this book places the experiences of disadvantaged communities centre stage. It addresses issues affecting participation, inclusion and engagement in sport, while discussing the challenges faced by specific groups such as Muslim women and LGBT young people. Including original theoretical and methodological insights, it argues that the experiences of these marginalised groups can shed a light on the political struggles taking place over the significance of sport and leisure in society today. Sport, Leisure and Social Justice is fascinating reading for students and academics with an interest in sport and politics, sport and social problems, gender studies, race and ethnicity studies, or the sociology of sport. Review "Overall, the publication makes a valuable, and frequently original, contribution to the field. The emphasis upon drawing on the voices and experiences of people through research who have been marginalized, and recognizing their experiences, is impressive. I believe this makes it a useful teaching aid, particularly at undergraduate level, where the focus upon lived experience will support skilful educators bring humanity to their teaching on topics such as theory and methodology. Likewise, researchers will benefit from considering the approaches to participatory research it explores and advocates. The book also offers insight to postgraduates and practitioners, particularly those who like me are encountering social justice in a new context."
