Overview
Social inequalities are often reproduced in sport and leisure contexts. However, sport and leisure can be sites of resistance as well as oppression; they can be repressive or promote positive social change. This challenging and important book brings together contemporary cases examining different dimensions of inequality in sport and leisure, ranging from race and ethnicity to gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion and class. It is fascinating reading for all those with an interest in sport and politics, sport and social problems, gender studies, race and ethnicity studies, or the sociology of sport.
