Analyses of racialisation processes within and beyond sport would
be incomplete without a consideration of ethnicity and ethnic
identities. Why? Because ethnicity, as a concept and as a focus for
research, captures better the diverse experiences of social groups
and the scope of belonging. Ethnic identities contribute to the way
race and racism is constructed and experienced in sport, and to the
ways in which racial ideologies are created, recreated and
contested. Readers will find here a stimulating array of papers
that capture varied aspects of the sport, race and ethnicity nexus
around the world. The journey stretches as far afield as Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, Ghana and the USA and, in so doing, it draws
on a range of disciplinary approaches that converge or diverge by
degrees. Such diversity is to be welcomed in an academic field
characterized increasingly by the potential richness of people's
experiences of sport, race and ethnicity within various cultural
contexts. Included here are papers from a range of disciplines and
approaches including sociology, politics, sports feminisms,
critical race theory, a strengths perspective, Kaupapa Maori
Theory, history and sports development. This book was published as
a special issue of Sport and Society.

This handbook illustrates the utility of global sport as a lens
through which to disentangle the interconnected political,
economic, cultural, and social patterns that shape our lives.
Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives, it is organized into
three parts. The first part outlines theoretical and conceptual
insights from global sport scholarship: from the conceptualization
and development of globalization theories, transnationalism and
transnational capital, through to mediasport, roving coloniality,
and neoliberal doctrine. The second part illustrates the varied
flows within global sport and the ways in which these flows are
contested, across physical cultures/sport forms, identities,
ideologies, media, and economic capital. Diverse topics and cases
are covered, such as sport business and the global sport industry,
financial fair play, and global mediasport. Finally, the third part
explores various aspects of global sport development and
governance, incorporating insights from work in the Global South.
Across all of these contributions, varied approaches are taken to
examine the 'power of sport' trope, generating a thought-provoking
dialogue for the reader. Featuring an accomplished roster of
contributors and wide-ranging coverage of key issues and debates,
this handbook will serve as an indispensable resource for scholars
and students of contemporary sports studies.
Translated by Grace Morrissey, Stephen Mennell and Edmund Jephcott,
volume 5 of the "Collected Works of Norbert Elias" contains Elias'
broadest statement of the fundamentals of sociology, in important
respects very different from the discipline as it is
institutionalised today. In his vision, sociology is concerned with
the whole course of the development of human society. Especially
important are the 'game models', which demonstrate the connections
between power ratios, unintended consequences, unplanned long-term
processes and the way people perceive and conceptualise the social
processes in which they are caught up in interdependence with each
other. This edition contains two extra chapters previously
unpublished in English, one of them a substantial discussion of the
legacy of Marx.
Vol. 17 of the Collected Works can serve as an excellent
introduction to Elias's thinking overall. In the last decade of his
life, Elias gave many interviews in which he discussed aspects of
his work, rebutting many common misunderstandings of his thinking
and further developing ideas sketched out in his writings. Besides
a selection of these 'academic' interviews (many of them not
previously published in English, or not published at all), the book
contains his essay in intellectual autobiography and a long
interview in which he talks about his own life.
Vol. 18 of the Collected Works, besides including the consolidated
index to the Collected Works as a whole, contains two substantial
supplements: a long and important critique on Freud written in the
last weeks of Elias' life, not previously published in English; and
an essay, not previously published in any language, on the
anthropologist-philosopher Lucien Levy-Bruhl and the problem of
'the logical unity of humankind'. Both essays fill important gaps
in Elias' work, and deal with common criticisms of his thought.
