Racism is a sickness that permeates every aspect of Black life. But
if the events of the past few years have taught us anything, it is
that America has a hard time talking about issues that create
disparity and inequality for Black people. This inequality extends
not just into education but also into physical education. Blacks
are stereotyped as physically superior and intellectually
deficient. They are marginalized in PE just as they are in other
aspects of their lives. Through a series of case studies, Critical
Race Studies in Physical Education offers deep insights into the
issues that Black students face. The text, geared to undergraduate
and graduate PETE students and in-service teachers, does the
following: Provides culturally aware teaching strategies that
affirm the worth of Black students Amplifies the crucial issues
that negatively affect Black students Addresses the litany of
intentional and covert racist practices directed toward Black
youth, thus broadening the book's value beyond the sharing of
teaching strategies The end goal is to elevate the perspectives of
Black youths and teachers and to normalize positive experiences for
Black students in physical education. To do so, Critical Race
Studies in Physical Education provides the following: Eight case
studies of situations that expose racism, disparities, and other
issues affecting Black students' well-being, self-worth, and
healthy experiences in PE Critical race study discourse that
stimulates discussion of relevant issues and enhances learning
Reflective activities, resources, lesson considerations, and
definitions to help students and in-service teachers use what they
have learned through the case studies and discussions Each case
study includes discussion and reflection prompts that are meant to
lead the way to effective strategies and immediate implementation
opportunities. Here is a partial list of the case studies: A white
elementary student uses the N-word toward a Black teacher A Black
female student endures gendered racism and racial disparities
through her swimming experiences A white teacher is oblivious to
why her Black students don't want to be outside in the sunshine or
get their hair moist A new PE teacher harbors toxic masculinity,
white supremacy, and stereotypes of Black sexuality White student
teachers grapple with accepting job offers in an urban area Black
students need teachers to engage in anti-racist teaching practices
that empower Black youth and aid in their success. For this to
happen, teachers need to affirm students and make them feel safe,
cared for, listened to, and recognized as worthy. Critical Race
Studies in Physical Education will help teachers of all races adopt
the teaching practices that create this supportive, empathetic, and
nurturing environment-and, in doing so, validate Black students'
self-worth and swing the pendulum back toward a more equitable
education in PE.
