Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Youth Sport, Migration and Culture by Max Mauro
This book emphasizes that research should be done with rather than on young people. Engaging with the social changes in Irish society through the eyes of the first children of immigrants growing up in Ireland, it offers a compelling analysis of how ideas of race and racism emerge and are elaborated in the field of youth sport."Mauro’s important study is not the first to look at racism within grassroots football in Ireland but is certainly the most in-depth account to date … Mauro’s research is an important step in addressing an issue which Irish society has struggled to deal with" – Conor Curran, Trinity College Dublin, Sport in Society
"‘Youth Sport, Migration and Culture’ is a welcome addition to studies on migration, integration and sport, where unlike previous contributions in the field the ethnographic research process and narrative accounts of young people’s trajectories are in the focusYet, the book confirms that sport is neither naturally inclusive nor a colour-blind space, but a space, where ‘race’ is actively constructed." – Verena Lenneis, Aalborg University, European Journal for Sport and Society
