Sport in the Black Atlantic is the first academic book to provide an in-depth analysis of Caribbean diaspora studies and sport studies. Black Caribbean migrantsigrants have travelled the globe taking their physical activity pursuits with them for centuries, but within the literature on transnationalism and globalization, scholars have neglected the ways in which diasporas use sport to preserve their connection to home, to create multinational networks and to maintain deterritorialized, racialized communities. The book draws on detailed ethnographic research amongst Caribbean migrants in Canada to provide unique insights into questions of sport and globalization and to challenge many commonplace understandings of diaspora.
