Today, globalization and migration mean all major sports leagues include players from around the globe, bringing into play a complex mix of racial, ethnic, cultural, political and geographical factors. These complexities have been examined from many angles by historians, sociologists, anthropologists and scientists. This is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the full sweep of approaches to the study of sport, race and ethnicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eRoutledge Handbook of Sport, Race and Ethnicity\u003c\/i\u003e makes a substantial contribution to scholarship, presenting a collection of international case studies that map the most important developments in the field. Multi-disciplinary in its approach, it engages with a wide range of disciplines including history, politics, sociology, philosophy, science and gender studies. It draws upon the latest cutting-edge research to address key issues such as racism, integration, globalisation, development and management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by a world-class team of sports scholars, this book is essential reading for all students, researchers and policy-makers with an interest in sports studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 18 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Nauright\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor and Chair of the Department of Kinesiology, Health Promotion and Recreation at the University of North Texas, USA.
