Aarti Ratna, A Nation of Family and Friends? Sport and the Leisure Cultures of British Asian Girls and Women
Yang, Jinsun
Aarti Ratna, A Nation of Family and Friends? Sport and the Leisure Cultures of British Asian Girls and Women - International Sociology 2024 - 558-560
The development of modern sport and leisure cultures is deeply embedded in Western imperialism, classism, racism, sexism, and ableism. Sport and leisure cultures are, however, not solely shaped by Western, white, male, class privileged, and able bodies like many other mainstream cultures. Marginalized bodies in sport and leisure spaces have consistently challenged and expanded the boundaries of sport, redefining sporting bodies and enhancing the impact of sport as a vehicle for social change. In A Nation of Family and Friends? Sport and the Leisure Cultures of British Asian Girls and Women, Ratna scrutinizes the potential of sport and leisure culture as a site for contesting intersectional discrimination and inequality, focusing on sporting experiences and practices of South Asian women.
