In today's neoliberal times, thinking about fitness and health is
dominated by the media's narratives of "fit bodies," which are
presented and circulated in society as "valued bodies." Outside
that mainstream view, however, there are many people labeled
"bodies-at-risk": those who deviate from perceived norms of size,
shape, race, social class, and gender. Social Justice in Globalized
Fitness and Health draws attention to how neoliberal ideologies
impacting the body overlook the intersection of class, gender/sex,
and race that informs how young, ethnic minoritized people embody
and negotiate normative discourses of fitness and health. Indeed,
through the lens of critical race theory (CRT), post-feminism, and
postcolonialism, Azzarito highlights young, ethnic minoritized
people's struggles to find a culturally relevant sense of self.
Arguing for the need to found educational spaces where young,
ethnic minoritized people can recognize themselves, resist and
counter-narrate negative stereotypes, and self-represent to the
public in affirmative ways, Social Justice in Globalized Fitness
and Health will appeal to students and researchers interested in
fields such as physical culture, education, sport sociology,
qualitative methods, and cultural and visual studies, as well as
scholars and practitioners of physical education and health in
schools.
