Description: In examining race in sport, this book is an essential contribution to debates about sports policy, the role of sport in society, and the globalisation/localisation of sports policies. In particular, it maps out local, national and international responses within sport to racism, and initiatives within sport to tackle racism in and through sport. The unifying concept through the chapters is a political and intellectual commitment to a critically realist position on racism.
