Description

Comprehensive collection of academic work focusing specifically on issues of 'race', ethnicity and racism in sports coaching. Distinctly international scope and focus, and bringing together scholars from multiple backgrounds and academic disciplines. Draws on a range of theoretical perspectives and empirically grounded scholarship, much of which includes and centralises the voices and first-hand experiences of racial minorities in sports coaching contexts. Relevant to contemporary debates around the lack of racial diversity in the sports coaching workforce and the use of positive action measures designed to redress this racialised imbalance. Expands and enhances academic scholarship in the field and provides evidence based solutions for eliminating racialised barriers which impact on constraining the career progression of racial minorities in sports coaching.
