How can political theory and qualitative critical research work together to make sense of these processes? These are among the questions that led to a long-term investigation of young males' sport practices in Ireland, possibly the most fertile contemporary setting for the analysis of questions of sport and identity. Youth Sport, Migration and Culture emphasises the epistemological and ethical urgency of doing research with rather than on young people. Engaging with the social changes in Irish society through the eyes of children of immigrants growing up in Ireland, the book looks closely at young people's leisure practices in multi-ethnic contexts, and at issues of inclusion in relation to public discourses around 'national identity' and immigration. Offering compelling analysis of how ideas of race and racism are elaborated through sport, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport development or youth culture Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Max Mauro is Lecturer in Sport Studies at Solent University, UK and Visiting Lecturer in Media, Sport and Communication at St. Mary's University, Twickenham, UK Print version record Subject Soccer -- Social aspects -- Ireland Children of immigrants -- Ireland SPORTS & RECREATION -- Soccer.
