Sports can serve as an inspirational example of what can be achieved through hard work and perseverance, regardless of one's race. However, there is plenty of evidence that race still plays a major role in sports, and that sports are key agents of racial socialization.

This new edition challenges the idea that America has moved beyond racial discrimination, and identifies the obvious and subtle ways in which racial identities and athletic determinism affect individuals in the world of sports. Featuring a new chapter covering the history of Black athletes in college sports and the historic and contemporary role of the NCAA, and including 40% revised material covering major events and players since 2015, Lori Martin's influential text continues to gives readers a keen awareness of these ongoing issues. This book makes clear the links between sports and society as a whole, and demonstrates that the issues surrounding racism in sports impact people in every realm of life and are not limited to the playing field.
