“…The few writers to engage with 'race' in informing leisure and sport research have been intent on working towards 'race' centred approaches that would progress a critical theoretical understanding of epistemological approaches in sport and leisure (Floyd, 1998;Gramann and Allison, 1999;Scraton, 2001;Watson and Scraton, 2001). Some writers have been successful in raising the profile of 'race' in understanding sport and leisure contexts to the point where the efficacy of established paradigms are being challenged (Jarvie and Reid, 1997;Floyd, 1998;Henderson, 1998;Back et al, 1999;Gramann and Allison, 1999;Carrington and McDonald, 2001;Long and Hylton, 2002).…”

This paper presents and explores critical race theory (CRT) as an ontological starting point for the study of sport and leisure. CRT is based on five precepts outlined by Solorzano and Yosso that centre 'race' and racism, social justice, plurivocality, transdisciplinarity and challenge orthodoxies. There have been a number of recent criticisms and debates amongst leisure and sports studies writers that challenge their general focus of study as narrow and myopic. The five precepts have been fundamental to radical shifts in critical legal studies over the past fifteen years and have significance for the development of critical sport and leisure theory. CRT and 'race' critical perspectives are drawn out, clarified and their mutual agendas focussed. It is argued here that researchers and writers need urgently to centralize 'race' and racism as core factors in the study of social relations in sport if Birrell's optimism in the development of sport (and leisure) theory is to be realised.

“…The impact of immigration on leisure experiences began to attract increasing attention (e.g., Stodolska, 1998;Yu & Berryman, 1996). Issues related to race in sport also began to appear in greater frequency (e.g., Jarvie & Reid, 1997;Long & Hilton, 2002).…”

Because the quantity of research on race and ethnicity in leisure has increased significantly in recent years, there is opportunity for identifying trends and likely trajectories for future work. This paper briefly outlines three waves of research on race and ethnicity in leisure studies. It concludes by calling for systematic assessments of the literature on race and ethnicity, re-focusing on race and racism, and engaging practitioners in race and ethnicity research.Résumé. Puisque la quantité de recherche sur l'appartenance ethnique dans les études en loisir a augmenté sensiblement ces dernières années, nous prenons cette occasion pour identifier les tendances et les trajectoires probables pour les recherches ulté-rieures. Cet article décrit brièvement trois vagues de recherche sur l'appartenance ethnique dans les études en loisir. Il conclut par la réclamation des évaluations systé-matiques de la littérature sur la race et l'appartenance ethniques, se concentrant sur la race et le racisme, et l'engagement des praticiens dans la recherche d'appartenance ethnique.

“…There is a real gap between contemporary social theory relating to questions of race, social theory and the politics of difference and the literature on the sociology of sport. This has been identi ed elsewhere (Carrington 1997;Jarvie and Reid 1997). A case in point is the recent controversy about John Hoberman's Darwin's Athletes (1997).…”

This paper draws on recent research to explore the changing cultures of racism in English football. Starting from a critical analysis of key themes in the literature on football it seeks to show that existing analytical frameworks need to be reworked if they are going to adequately account for the complex forms through which racism is expressed in contemporary football cultures. In the course of this analysis we question some of the ways in which the issue of racism in football is collapsed into broader accounts of 'hooliganism' and other forms of violence among football fans. From this starting point the paper draws on some elements of our empirical research in order to outline an alternative way of framing the issues of racism and multiculturalism in football.KEYWORDS: Football; racism; social theory CUP FINAL DAY, MAY 1997 The rituals of Englishness are on display as the nation settles to watch the biggest event in the sporting calendar. The Guard's Band leads Cliff Richard and the capacity crowd through Abide with Me and the national anthem: but this nal between Chelsea and Middlesbrough seemed different. Chelsea, managed by the black Dutch international Ruud Gullit, eventually triumph 2-0 over a cosmopolitan Middlesbrough side that included the Italian Fabrizio Ravanelli and the famed Brazilians, Juninho and Emerson. The Middlesbrough fans performance of the unlikely phenomenon of a 'Teeside Samba' at Wembley signalled that local football culture, even in England's North East, has assimilated new rhythms and textures. The match marked something more than a new beginning for the victorious West London club. It captured in microcosm the changing face of English football.As Chelsea's 'cheeky cockney' Denis Wise lifted the cup for Chelsea for the rst time in 26 years the television coverage cut to the jubilant Chelsea fans. Two young black men appear in club colours singing 'Chelsea,
