Critical Race Theory provides a framework for exploring racism in
society, taking into account the role of institutions and drawing
on the experiences of those affected. Applied to the world of
sport, this framework can reveal the underlying social mores and
institutionalised prejudices that have helped perpetuate those
racial stereotypes particular to sport, and those that permeate
broader society. In this groundbreaking sociological investigation,
Kevin Hylton takes on the controversial subject of racial attitudes
in sport and beyond. With sport as his primary focus, Hylton
unpacks the central concepts of 'race', ethnicity, social
constructionism and racialisation, and helps the reader navigate
the complicated issues and debates that surround the study of
'race' in sport. Containing rigorous and insightful analysis
throughout, the book explores key topics such as: the origins,
applications and terminology of Critical Race Theory the meaning of
'whiteness' the media, sport and racism anti-racism and sport
genetics and scientific racism. The contested concepts that define
the subject of 'race' in sport present a constant challenge for
academics, policy makers and practitioners in the development of
their ideas, policies and interventions. This innovative and
challenging book is essential reading for anybody looking to fully
understand this important subject.
