The racial makeup of sports in the United States serves as a classic example of racism in the 21st century. This book examines the racial disparities in sports and the continuing significance of race in 21st-century America, debunking the myth of a 'postracial society. ' * Examines how race and sports are powerful social constructions * Presents examples of how sports can serve as both a liberating and an oppressive force * Explains how sports influence and are influenced by society and the ways in which institutional barriers and personal practices perpetuate racism in sports and in the society at large * Documents how historic racial stereotypes, such as the 'brute' and 'sapphire' caricatures, are alive and well in the world of sports
