This book aims to extend and deepen conversations among scholars,
policymakers, and practitioners about the role of sport in relation
to contexts and issues of forced migration. The chapters in this
volume critically analyse and interrogate the implications of
existing approaches, practices, and research around sport and
forced migration across five themes: 1) participatory
methodologies, power, voice and ethics; 2) emotions and embodiment;
3) gendered, socio-ecological and intersectional perspectives; 4)
critical perspectives on integration and intercultural
communication; and 5) fandom and media representations of forced
migrants in elite sport. It does so by engaging with complex, yet
necessary, dialogues and perspectives that cross disciplinary
boundaries, and by not shying away from conceptual and ethical
tensions that interrogate concepts, methodologies, policies, and
forms of representation regarding forced migrants’ experiences
and contributions to global sporting cultures. The book provides
key contributions to advance critical scholarly analyses and inform
applied interventions on the ground and will be beneficial to
researchers and advanced students of Sports, Sociology and
Politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Sport in Society.
This book offers a timely and critical exploration of leisure and
forced migration from multiple disciplinary perspectives, spanning
sociology, gender studies, migration studies and anthropology. It
engages with perspectives and experiences that unsettle and oppose
dehumanising and infantilising binaries surrounding forced migrants
in contemporary society. The book presents cutting edge research
addressing three inter-related themes: spaces and temporalities;
displaced bodies and intersecting inequalities; voices, praxis and
(self)representation. Drawing on and expanding critical leisure
studies perspectives on class, gender, sexuality and
race/ethnicity, the book spotlights leisure and how it can
interrogate and challenge dominant narratives, practices and
assumptions on forced migration and lives lived in asylum systems.
Furthermore, it contributes to current debates on the scope,
relevance and aims of leisure studies within the present, unfolding
global scenario. This is an important resource for students and
scholars across leisure, sport, gender, sociology, anthropology and
migration studies. It is also a valuable read for practitioners,
advocates and community organisers addressing issues of forced
migration and sanctuary.
