This book provides an accessible space for interdisciplinary
scholarship and narrative through an analysis of the power of media
and sports, focusing on the intersectionality of identity,
politics, social justice, and social movements within this context.
Contributors examine how identities coalesce in sports and discuss
the ways in which sports provide spaces for marginalized
communities and create unique platforms that shift how society
defines identity. Athletes' identities and actions-and mass media's
representation thereof-can influence both the perceptions of
society as a whole and how individuals view themselves,
contributors argue. Each chapter delves into how different aspects
of identity, including race, gender, disability, and sexuality,
have developed and influenced social change, with a strong focus on
lived experiences of both scholars and athletes from marginalized
communities. Scholars of media studies, communication, sociology,
and kinesiology may find this book particularly useful.
