Black Sporting Resistance

Autor Joseph N Cooper
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 ian 2025
In recent years, there has been increased attention towards activism in sporting spaces. A vast majority of these contributions have focused on intra-nation tensions and impact. Yet, there is a dearth of scholarship that has engaged in a theoretically grounded analysis of how Black sportspersons have exhibited resistance in and through sport across national borders across time, space, and context. In this text, Joseph N. Cooper introduces the Black Sporting Resistance Framework (BSRF) as an analytic lens to examine how resistance actions in and through sport have contributed to the advancement of local and global racial justice efforts. Key concepts such as African (Black) diaspora, transnationalism, internationalism, sporting resistance typology, and sport activism typology are incorporated throughout the book. Black sporting resistance is also analyzed alongside broader social movements such as the Black Liberation Struggle, Black Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, and Black Radicalism. Insights on the ways in which sport can be used to advance social justice in the future are presented.

Recenzii

"Cooper's book serves as a testament to the power of Black resistance and activism in and through sport and its capacity to transcend national borders and cultural divides in the fight for justice."
“A strong contribution to sports, politics, and the sociology of race, Black Sporting Resistance indisputably argues that Black athletes and sport organizers have historically been at the forefront of anti-racist political activism. There really is no comparable text to this one.”
 
"Black Sporting Resistance is impressive in scope, breadth, and its mastery of different literatures. It's a tremendously important synthesis of scholarship. Drawing on the tradition of Black internationalism, Cooper theorizes race and resistance to Euro-American imperialism through sport as a global process and dialogue that stretches across both time and space. We can see how Black athletes in different times and places react to organize in opposition to global white supremacy."
