Boxing and Performance is the first substantial piece of work to
place the lived experience of female and male boxers in dialogue
with one another. Crews and Lennox critically reflect on their
ethnographic experiences of boxing and their reading of the
cultural representations of the sport. They conceive of the project
as an extended sparring session. This book offers a unique
perspective on boxing in/as performance and boxing in/as culture.
It explores how the connections between boxing and performance
address ideas about bodies, relationships, intimacy, and combat. It
challenges and renegotiates oft-repeated narratives used to make
meaning about boxing. This volume examines questions of visibility,
voice, and agency and will appeal to scholars and students in the
fields of performance and media, and sport and social studies.

A coming of age story inspired by Dizzee Rascal's seminal album. In
a strict Mormon household somewhere in the seam between East London
and Essex, a girl is given Dizzee Rascal's ground-breaking grime
album Boy in da Corner by her best friend SS Vyper. Precisely 57
minutes and 21 seconds later, her life begins to change - from
feeling muted by dyslexia to spitting the power of her words; from
being conflicted about her sexuality to finding the freedom to
explore; from feeling alone to being given the greatest gift by her
closest friend. In this semi-autobiographical piece, step into a
technicolour world where music, dance and spoken word collide, and
discover how grime allowed Debris Stevenson to redefine herself.
