Routledge handbook of sport, race and ethnicity

Few issues have engaged sports scholars more than those of race and ethnicity.

Today, globalisation and migration mean all major sports leagues include players from around the globe, bringing into play a complex mix of racial, ethnic, cultural, political and geographical factors.

These complexities have been examined from many angles by historians, sociologists, anthropologists and scientists.

This book offers a comprehensive survey of the full sweep of approaches to the study of sport, race and ethnicity.
