“…It is remarkable that the data omitted direct reference to ethnicity. During times when culture, ethnic background, religious belief, and matters of enculturation, assimilation, and integration are so challenging this is striking [37][38][39]. These insights into gender and ethnic diversity provide research opportunities for the profession.…”

“…The principles of a CRT approach make up an essential framework from which to invite sport and leisure academics to reconsider their own positions. It can be seen below how research and writing that adopt CRT principles have been considered to be at the cutting edge of emergent critical black and cultural studies research (Stanfield II, 1993;West, 1995;Parekh, 2000).…”

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.

“…Nevertheless, variations exist between different groups in each state so that, in the British case, Indians and Chinese at one end of the social scale have proved far more successful than Bangladeshis and Pakistanis at the other (Parekh, 2000). Variations have also existed in Germany between Italians and Turks (Castles, 1987: 132Á/ 134).…”

This paper is an introductory survey of the evolution of multiculturalism in Britain and Germany over the past two centuries. The historical approach argues that the main determinants of difference between these nation states lie in their long-term traditional attitudes towards immigrants and ethnic minorities. It focuses upon the patterns of immigration into Britain and Germany as well as the differing imperial traditions, which have both left differing legacies. An equally important historical factor has been the legal position of aliens in the two states, in which, until very recently, Britain adopted a policy of jus solis , whereas Germany pursued one of jus sanguinis . The paper then examines the realities of multiculturalism in the two states. Due primarily to the historical traditions of nationality legislation, immigrants and their descendants in Britain have come to play a more important role in recent British history than their contemporaries in Germany, particularly if we examine their role in the political process and in popular culture. While the conclusion reiterates the differences, it also stresses that we should not view Britain and Germany as the opposite ends of the multicultural spectrum, as both are modern liberal democracies with significant ethnic minority populations.
