This volume presents research on policy responses to racism in
sporting codes, predominantly Australian Rules football, in a
global context. While the three guest editors are based in
Australia, and their work pertains to the uniquely domestic game of
Australian Rules football, the outcomes, research vectors and key
issues from this research are part of a much larger on-going
international conversation that is equally relevant when
considering, for instance, racism in English Premier League
football, first class cricket and basketball. The book is an
outcome of an Australian Research Council (ARC) funded project
titled Assessing the Australian Football League's Racial and
Religious Vilification Laws to Promote Community Harmony,
Multiculturalism and Reconciliation, which investigated social
participation and the impact of the Australian Football League's
anti-racial vilification policy since its introduction in 1995.
This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

This book is the outcome of an Australian Research Council
(ARC)-funded project titled Assessing the Australian Football
League's Racial and Religious Vilification Laws to Promote
Community Harmony, Multiculturalism and Reconciliation, which
investigated the impact of the Australian Football League's
anti-vilification policy since its introduction in 1995. With key
stakeholders the Australian Football League, the AFL Players'
Association and the Office of Multicultural Affairs (previously the
Victorian Multicultural Commission), the book gauges the attitudes
and perspectives of players and coaches in the AFL regarding Rule
35, the code's anti-vilification rule. The overarching themes of
multiculturalism, reconciliation and social harmony in the AFL
workplace have been the guiding ideals that we examined and
analysed. The outcomes from the research vectors look at and engage
with key issues about race, diversity and difference as it pertains
to the elite AFL code, but also looks at the ongoing international
conversation as it pertains to these themes in sport. This book was
previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Each weekend, thousands of people across the country attend
professional wrestling shows in their local city or town. Fans of
this underground scene love the hard-hitting action and are hoping
to catch a glimpse of the rising stars before they hit the big
time. Known as "The Manager of Champions," Sean Gorman is one of
the most hated wrestling personalities in New England. For the
first time ever, Mr. Gorman breaks his character's silence and
shows readers how a shy introverted kid from a small town became
one of the loudest and most despised villains in all of wrestling.
With brilliantly raw prose and a searing wit, Gorman demonstrates
how a world where the line between fantasy and reality are
constantly blurred can turn one's wrestling persona into one's
real-life persona (and vice versa). Until We're Strangers Again is
a complex character study about how the road to achieving one's
dreams is often beset by tragedy and triumph. It is also the true
story of love and friendship in a world driven by blood, sweat, and
tears.
This book investigates the issue of racism in sport to understand
how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this,
it considers Indigenous history, social justice and equity,
government policy, the media, everyday life, football culture and
the emergence of Indigenous players in the game of Australian
Football. It does this by drawing on a variety of social, cultural
and historical themes and arrives at a greater understanding of
what it means to be an Indigenous person living in Australia for
the last 220 years. These social issues are explored through the
genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim
and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne
in the late 1970s and 1980s. This book, in looking at Jim and
Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous
footballers contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and
Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This book offers a way of
reading cultural texts and difference to understand Indigenous and
non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context.
