Football, Migration and Racism examines the complex intersections of racism, antiracism, football, and migration in contemporary global contexts. Drawing from a themed issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies, the volume investigates how race influences football cultures across different national settings.
The collection features empirical studies from West Africa, Czechia, Sweden, Costa Rica, England, and Italy, offering diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding racialisation processes in football. It addresses critical gaps in sports sociology by explicitly connecting football to broader patterns of racial and ethnic relations.
Contributors explore racialised stereotypes of African players, media representations, grassroots anti-racism initiatives, and the colonial legacies that continue to shape contemporary football cultures. Each chapter provides detailed analysis of how migration patterns, talent development systems, and institutional practices perpetuate or challenge racial hierarchies within football.
This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in sociology of sport, race and ethnic studies, migration studies, and cultural studies.
