SPORT, MASCULINITY, AND BLACK CULTURAL RESISTANCE
Ben Carrington
This article develops an account of the meanings associated with sport in relation to Black masculinity, and the use of sport as a form of cultural resistance to White racism. The absences within sociology of sport theorizing in relation to race are shown before examining the historical and contemporary significance of sport within racialized societies. Drawing on participant observation and semistructured interviews, an account is given of how a Black cricket club in the north of England is used by Black men as both a form of resistance to White racism and a symbolic marker of the local Black community. Three themes are traced in this regard, namely the construction of Black sports institutions as Black spaces, the use of Black sports clubs as symbolic markers of community identity, and the role of cricket as an arena of both symbolic and real racial and masculine contestation.
