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.
