Reihe: Routledge Critical Studies in Sport

This book seeks to move beyond superficial discussions of race, gender and sport. Drawing on diverse literature rooted in the politics of ‘other’ feminisms, it privileges the authentic voices of ethnic minority women and advances critical thinking pertaining to their engagement with sport. The book centralises the life histories, testimonies and narratives of ethnic minority women and girls from diverse social, cultural and religious geographies and sheds light on their struggles to exist within different subcultures of sport. From African-American women and girls to Palestinian Muslim women, this book brings to life their lived experiences like no other book on sport.

Über Autor(innen)

Aarti Ratna is a senior lecturer in sociology of sport and leisure at Leeds Becketts University, UK. She has mainly published around the interconnection of race and gender in and through the context of sport and leisure with particular focus upon the lives and social realities of British Asian female footballers. Her more recent projects re-examine the leisure lifestyles of older South Asian men and women in order to connect their personal narratives to discourses about transnationalism.

Samaya F. Samie is a critical educator whose research interests are interdisciplinary making contributions to the fields of sociology, race and ethnic studies, south Asian studies, women and gender studies, post-colonial feminist epistemologies and sociology of sport and popular culture. Her published work focuses not only on the complex identity work of young British Pakistani Muslim men and their constructions of religious masculinities through sport and physical education, but also explores the intersections of gender, 'race', culture and religion in the lives of sporting (south Asian) Muslim women living in diaspora communities in the 'West'.
