Analyses of racialisation processes within and beyond sport would
be incomplete without a consideration of ethnicity and ethnic
identities. Why? Because ethnicity, as a concept and as a focus for
research, captures better the diverse experiences of social groups
and the scope of belonging. Ethnic identities contribute to the way
race and racism is constructed and experienced in sport, and to the
ways in which racial ideologies are created, recreated and
contested. Readers will find here a stimulating array of papers
that capture varied aspects of the sport, race and ethnicity nexus
around the world. The journey stretches as far afield as Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, Ghana and the USA and, in so doing, it draws
on a range of disciplinary approaches that converge or diverge by
degrees. Such diversity is to be welcomed in an academic field
characterized increasingly by the potential richness of people's
experiences of sport, race and ethnicity within various cultural
contexts. Included here are papers from a range of disciplines and
approaches including sociology, politics, sports feminisms,
critical race theory, a strengths perspective, Kaupapa Maori
Theory, history and sports development. This book was published as
a special issue of Sport and Society.
