Sporting Blackness examines issues of race and representation in
sports films, exploring what it means to embody, perform, play out,
and contest blackness by representations of Black athletes on
screen. By presenting new critical terms, Sheppard analyzes not
only "skin in the game," or how racial representation shapes the
genre's imagery, but also "skin in the genre," or the formal
consequences of blackness on the sport film genre's modes, codes,
and conventions. Through a rich interdisciplinary approach,
Sheppard argues that representations of Black sporting bodies
contain "critical muscle memories": embodied, kinesthetic, and
cinematic histories that go beyond a film's plot to index,
circulate, and reproduce broader narratives about Black sporting
and non-sporting experiences in American society.
