ABSTRACT

The conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapter of this book. The book examines the place of 'race' and its intersections, and racism on topics in sport that many would overlook. It illustrates how it can be used as a device to channel forms of resistance through cultural wealth while sharing techniques to navigate oppressive systems. The book explains how their White privilege and identities did a similar thing. It demonstrates that their whiteness necessarily brought them to a position where 'race' and racism were experientially less well understood than other aspects of their lives, yet significantly their politics enabled recognition of a differently experienced racialised self. The book refers how Black scholars were 'speaking back' from the margins in the way that the White researchers were 'speaking from the centre'.
