This book focuses on the variety of strategies developed by women
athletes in the Pacific Islands to claim contested sporting spaces
– in particular, rugby union, soccer, beach volleyball,
recreational sports and exercise – as a prism to explore
grassroots women’s engagement with heavily entrenched
postcolonial (hetero)patriarchy. Based on primary research
conducted in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, the book
investigates contested sporting spaces as sites of infrapolitics
intersected primarily by gender and also by other markers of
inequality including ethnicity, sexuality, class and geopolitics.
Contrary to historical and contemporary representations of Pacific
Island women as victims of gender injustice, it explores how these
athletes and those who support them actively carve out space for
their transformative agency. Staking Their Claim: Pacific Island
Women and Contested Sporting Spaces focuses on a region
underexamined by sport or gender studies researchers and will be of
key interest to scholars and students in gender studies, sport
studies, sociology, and Pacific Studies as well as sport
practitioners and policymakers.
