Race and Sports: A Reference Handbook provides a breadth and depth
of discussion about minority athletes, coaches, sports journalists,
and others in U.S. sport. This volume examines race and sports and
connected issues, from the integration of professional sports to
the present day. It also explores the history of minority
involvement in sports at every level: the barriers broken, the
stereotypes that have been shattered, and the difficulties that
these pioneers have endured. One of the most valuable aspects of
the book is that it surveys the history of race and sports in a
manner that helps readers identify key issues. An extensive
background on the topic of race and sports, including a review of
the history and an introduction to its technical aspects, is
followed by a discussion of controversies, problems, and possible
solutions. Essays from various contributors showcase different
aspects of race and sports, while a substantial amount of the
volume is dedicated to reference material - such as biographical
sketches, a chronology, an extensive annotated bibliography, and a
glossary - helpful in further study of the topic. Gives readers a
solid foundation of the history of race and sports, from
professional integration to present day Provides readers with a
number of primary, secondary, and multimedia sources to continue
expanding their knowledge on the topic of race and sports Discusses
race and sports in a way that also acknowledges the
intersectionality of gender and class in the sporting world Rounds
