ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines 'race', sport coaching and leadership to focus debates on the general under-representation of Black leaders in sport. It also examines whiteness as concept, identity and process in sport and leisure research. The book describes sport as a prison of measured time, was taking as his cue the instrumental and mythopoetic elements of sport-related activity in society. It explores how 'race' and racism are manifest and played out online in what has been argued to be an egalitarian, 'post-race' space. The book interrogates reverse discourse to explore how language is used as a device for resistance in sport. It considers the major debates from each of the chapters and teases out the utility of a Critical Race Theory framework for examining racialised problematics in sport and leisure.
