This book won the North American Sport Sociology Society's 2013
Outstanding Book Award. Critical Pedagogy, Physical Education and
Urban Schooling is a critical ethnography of health, physical
education and the schooling experiences of urban youth. The
subjects of health and physical education are compulsory in most
schools internationally, but many contemporary practices in these
subjects reinforce rather than challenge the stereotypes that urban
youth are only physically talented and, subsequently, uninterested
in schooling achievement. This book questions those practices and
instead suggests that, if taught in critical ways, these subjects
offer a particularly cogent space of hope and achievement for urban
youth. The use of critical ethnography enables an in-depth account
of urban youth in the subjects of health and physical education at
school. This book thus explores the complex potential for health
and physical education as key sites of learning for marginalized
urban youth, examining these disciplines as subjects that are both
politically fraught and also spaces of hope.
